Deceit was never part of her nature

Jancis Langfield knew that love meant nothing without loyalty and trust. Her parents' bitter divorce had taught her that, never mind that Thorp Kingman thought!

Jancis could appreciate what a headache her irrepressible friend, Thorp's niece Sophie, was being, but why did Thorp have to assume Jancis herself was tarred with the same brush?

Thorp had no right at all to pass judgment on her - until Jancis decided to tell him one tiny lie that mushroomed. Now she faced a lifetime of regret...and heartache.
