Lies told and secrets hidden...some grievances go too deep to be forgiven. Lady Cassandra Hervey has hidden her true identity for almost five years, and with good reason. She ran away from home at nineteen, under a cloud of suspicion for the theft of million pound jewels belonging to her horrid stepmother. Since then, she's worked hard to make a new life for herself. It's all going so well, until she meets Ben, the one man who has the power to ruin everything! Benedict Savarin can't bring himself to reveal Cassandra's secret. Yet. He tells himself he's just biding his time, but as weeks turn into months, he sees that their dark passion is fast evolving into something far, far more dangerous. When Cassandra realises that Benedict has discovered the secret of who she really is, she tries to run, but he isn't about to let her get away twice. Believing her capable of theft and worse, he uses every tool at his disposal to make her face up to her disastrous past, and Cassandra knows she'll never forgive him for it.

For all things Clare Connelly, please see www.clareconnelly.co.uk, the official home of Clare Connelly on the web. Clare Connelly grew up in a small country town in Australia. Surrounded by rainforests, and rickety old timber houses, magic was thick in the air, and stories and storytelling were a huge part of her childhood. From early on in life, Clare realised her favourite books were romance stories, and read voraciously. Anything from Jane Austen to Georgette Heyer, to Mills & Boon and (more recently) 50 Shades, Clare is a romance devotee. She first turned her hand to penning a novel at fifteen (if memory serves, it was something about a glamorous fashion model who fell foul of a high-end designer. Sparks flew, clothes flew faster, and love was born.) Clare has a small family and a bungalow near the sea. When she isn't chasing after energetic little toddlers, or wiping fingerprints off furniture, she's writing, thinking about writing, or wishing she were writing.
