Book Synopsis

PRAISE FOR EVE AINSWORTH:

'Eve Ainsworth creates vivid, realistic characters you really care about.' â " Victoria Scott

'A total triumph!' â " Clare Swatman

A fairy tale romance. The pages ripped up. Will they get a second chance to rewrite their ending?

Stevie and Harry's wedding was meant to be the highlight of the year, a fantasy come true. Working as a cleaner for Harry's family, Stevie never imagined the wealthy and privileged Harry would ever look her way, let alone propose.

So why did she jilt him at the altar?

Three years later, Stevie's back. A successful journalist, on the surface she's returned to look after her sick father, but she's asking questions about Harry's family that soon cast a suspicious light on her.

Even as Harry tries to stay away, the two are drawn to each other time and time again. Then Stevie is attacked and put in hospital. Someone is willing to go to any lengths to keep her quiet...

Dark, twisty and packed full of emotional gut-punches, this romance is perfect for fans of Colleen Hoover, Chloe Walsh and Mercedes Ron.
