Description
Cassandra Leigh's long-term partner, Max, is handsome, charismatic, sophisticated - and married. Now he's abandoned Cass for a year and taken his wife off to America, leaving her all alone in her dank little cottage. Cass always dreamed that one day she and Max would be married, but now she is waking up to reality like an elderly Sleeping Beauty and realising that not only is the prince missing, there isn't even a half-way decent frog in the offing. Meanwhile, Jason, one of her oldest show more friends, has developed a worrying crush on her and she's had an encounter of a closer kind than she bargained for with Dante Chase, the new owner of the UK's most ghost-infested manor house, a man even more haunted by his past than Cass is by hers. Now, the vicar wants to sell Cass off to the highest bidder at the local charity slave auction, and Max, Jason and Dante are each determined to bid for her. And somehow Cass knows that they're all after more than a little light dusting... show lessTags

Cassandra Leigh is a gothic horror writer and a long-time mistress to college professor Max. Max is currently in the States with his disabled wife on sabbatical which leaves Cass time to review their situation. He's always promised to leave his wife for her, but that was a long time ago and she would like a child. Other men on offer are her best mate Jason who's estranged wife is 'missing' and the mysterious Dante who just moved into the local haunted mansion.
I struggled with Cass a lot throughout this book. She's a wonderful character in so many ways, but how she was so oblivious to Max's bad intentions made me slightly crazed. Dante is lovely and perfect for her. This is a fun read, just vintage Trisha Ashley.
