There had been two men so far in Madeline's life - her late husband, Joe, and her boss, Adrian. Both had been kind and uncomplicated, wanting only to cherish and look after her.
But now another man had surged into her life - Nicholas Vitale. Handsome, dynamic, devastatingly attractive, he was utterly unlike anyone she had ever met before. But he certainly could not be described as gentle or kind, still less did he want to protect and cherish her. And Madeline could not resist him.
In getting so far out of her depth with Nicholas, was Madeline doing anything but stirring up trouble for herself? And what about her duty to that other important person in her life - her young daughter Diana?

Sheena had come to the Mariposan Embassy in Paris under false pretenses. She pretended she was a widow, that she was English, and that she was an experienced governess. Sheena had no idea why her Uncle had asked her to partake in this mysterious masquerade. Only that it was very important to him.

It was only after Sheena had fallen desperately in love that the horror of her situation dawned on her. But by then it was too late, for she was trapped in a web of lies, and dangerous, deadly intrigue....
