An English rugby player with a haunting past. An American girl with a secret. One summer of intense passion in London.

Oliver

I’ve spent the last eight years trying to rebuild my rugby career, and finally I’m back on top of my game. But one thing is missing; I need Michelle Portman back in my life. Without her, all my success on the field is meaningless.

Michelle hates me and I can’t blame her. If she knew the truth she’d hate me even more. I’m not sure I can ever make it up to her, but I’m damn sure going to try.

Michelle

I fell for Oliver Cornish the second I laid eyes on him, and I was naive enough to think he might like me too. I was wrong.

Eight years later, Oliver is back in my life and he seems determined to make amends. But he’s keeping something from me. Something related to the attack that left my sister scarred for life.

And he’s not the only one with a secret.
