Book description
When Rose sees Joe in an Oxford bar, for her it is instant infatuation.
He is everything she could ever want: gifted musician, wit and high
achiever. In her mind, at least, they are ideally matched and a burning
desire for him takes hold. Fate, however, has other plans and Joe has no
intention of settling down. All Rose will ever be to him is part of his
student past. Instead he embarks on a dazzling career which takes him
abroad for a number of years, leaving Rose alone with shattered dreams.
She knows what true happiness can be like. Her parents have always been
very well married, and the late arrival of her kid sister, Lily, helped
make the family complete. But when Joe returns and falls for Lily,
unaware that Rose still has feelings for him, a dangerous rivalry
ensues... one that can only lead to murder. Carol Smith is the author
of 11 novels for Little, Brown, most recently Fatal Attraction, Without
Warning and Vanishing Point.
