About This Book
Alexia de Vere has everything: power, wealth, a prominent place in British political life, and a family that looks immaculate from the outside. But the past has a way of finding people who have worked very hard to leave it behind, and when buried secrets begin surfacing around the De Vere family, the consequences spiral far beyond embarrassment or scandal into something genuinely dangerous. This is a story about how much a person will sacrifice to protect the life they have built—and what happens when that sacrifice is no longer enough.
Tilly Bagshawe understands what made Sidney Sheldon's fiction irresistible: the propulsive pacing, the glamorous settings used as pressure cookers rather than backdrops, and female characters who are formidable precisely because they are flawed. The prose moves with real momentum across London drawing rooms and corridors of influence, never lingering long enough to lose tension. The result is a thriller that rewards readers who enjoy psychological complexity wrapped inside a plot that genuinely accelerates—secrets layered beneath secrets, loyalties that shift, and a finale that earns its surprises.
