Heroine Nerissa has always been in love with Philip. But after she and Philip find out they are siblings (he is her half-brother) they know there is no future for them. Nerissa moves to London to put some distance between them. She eventually marries hero Ben, but after hearing Philip has had an accident and is in a coma she rushes to his bedside. Is her love for Philip always going to come between her and Ben?
This story had a lot of angst and tension. Ben was totally crazy about Nerissa, but she had a deep affection for Philip and she kept brushing Ben off, not realizing yet that she was in love with him. Ben and Nerissa connected well on a physical level, but Ben felt much more for Nerissaand had been secretly in love with her for a show more while .
I liked Ben, I always love a jealous and possessive hero! He was married in the past and his wife had an affair with his best friend so now Ben is extra cautious when it comes to women. He wasn't happy with Nerissa running off to be with Philip.
Great read by Charlotte Lamb full of secrets and forbidden love. show less
