   Summary

   After walking in on her fiance with another woman, Penelope Featherington ends their relationship and makes a new life for herself.

   Three years on and she's doing well. Now in partnership with Agatha Danbury, they run a small, but successful publishing house with L. W. Down, and her spicy romance novels, their top signing.

   Life is good. Too good, it seems because after finally putting the past behind her, it gets dredged up again when the man who had witnessed the whole dreadful betrayal suddenly reappears - and to make matters worse, he's their star author's brother.
