Author Description

Two stories, two heartbreaks: one past, one present... Leaving her native France and arriving in North Wales as a postgraduate student of History and Folklore, Mel is cautiously optimistic that she can escape from her troubled past and begin a new and happier life. She settles into her student accommodation and begins work on her thesis, concentrating particularly on one fascinating manuscript: a compelling and tragic tale of a cursed medieval princess. Then she meets Ray - charming, down-to-earth and devastatingly handsome. Within days, Mel's entire world has transformed from lonely and frustrated to loving and fulfilled. Despite her failure with previous relationships, she allows herself to hope that this time, at last, she can make it work. But Mel's dreams of happiness are under constant threat. She is hiding a dark and terrible secret, which Ray - or indeed anybody else - must never ever discover...
