âSamantha.â Rafaele smiled. âArenât you going to ask me in? Itâs cold out here.â
Samâs hand clenched tightly around the door. Panic rushed into her blood. Finally rousing her.
âNow isnât a good time. I thought I made it clear that Iâm not interested.â
A dull flush accentuated Rafaeleâs cheekbones, but Sam was barely aware of it when she heard the high-pitched, âMummy!â which was accompanied by small feet running at full speed behind her.
She felt Milo land at her legs and could almost visualise his little round face peeping out to see who was at the door. As if she were trying in vain to halt an oncoming train, Sam said in a thready voice, âNow really isnât a good time.â
Rafaele stared at Milo for what seemed like an age. He frowned and then looked as if someone had just hit him in the belly. Dazed, he glanced up at Sam and she knew exactly what he was seeing. Her eyes were wide and stricken, set in a face leached of all colour.
Panicked. Guilty.
Just like that something in his eyes turned to ice and she knew that he knew.

ABBY GREEN spent her teens reading Mills and Boon>® romances. After repeatedly deferring a degree to study Social Anthropology (long story!) she ended up working for many years in the film and TV industry as an assistant director.
One day, while standing outside an actorâs trailer waiting for him to emerge, in the rain, holding an umbrella in gale force winds, she thought to herself, Surely thereâs more than this and it involves being inside and dry?
Thinking of her love for Mills and Boon, and encouraged by a friend, Abby decided to submit a partial manuscript. After numerous rewrites, chucking out the original idea and starting again with a new story, her first book was accepted and an author was born.
She is happy to report that days of standing in the rain outside an actorâs trailer are a rare occurrence now. She loves creating stories that will put the reader through an emotional wringer (in a good way, hopefully!), and yet leave her feeling satisfied and uplifted.
She lives in Dublin, Ireland, and you can find out more about her and her books here: www.abby-green.com

This is for Gervaise Landy, without whose influence I would most likely still be speaking into a walkie-talkie outside an actorâs trailer in a car park somewhere, in the rain, trying to explain what the delay is. Thank you for all the great conversations about Mills & Boon, and that first memorable one in particular all those years ago. As soon as we recognised a fellow fanatic in each other we were kindred spirits. You were the one who put the idea in my head in the first place about writing for Mills & Boon, and you were the one with the tape on how to write oneâwhich I still have, and which I will return to you as soon as you promise me youâre going to sit down and finish that manuscript. With much love and thanks for sowing the seed of a dream in my head!
In thanking Gervaise I also have to dedicate this book to CaitrÃona Nà Mhurchú, at whose party I first met Gervaise. From the age of sixteen I have idolised this glamorous, confident, sexy, intelligent woman, so if you see any of those traits in my heroines it comes from a deep well of inspiration.

RAFAELE FALCONE LOOKED at the coffin deep inside the open grave. The earth theyâd thrown in was scattered on top, along with some lone flowers left by departing friends and acquaintances. Some of them had been men, inordinately upset. Evidently there was some truth to the rumours that the stunning Esperanza Christakos had taken lovers during her third marriage.
