Veiled Destiny
The twisting roads through the Chiltern Hills are lonely at night. When Sophie Stone realises the car behind is deliberately following her, she is angry, then afraid - the ordinary drunken yob doesn't carry a machete.
Desperately, she uses her local knowledge to evade her pursuer, just as handsome, enigmatic Luke Despard intervenes. Grateful to him, Sophie is convinced it was a purely random attack. Why should anyone want to kill her?
Her business partner, Pru Bailey, counsels caution. What do they know of Luke? A sequence of threatening events follows, and Sophie begins to suspect they are deliberate. Yet the only people who could benefit from her death are Pru, and Sophie's own half-brothers and sisters. Sophie's father was rich, but she cannot believe any of them would harm her...until there is a sudden violent death. Could it have been murder?
She turns to Luke, outside the family. With him she'll be safe, hidden from whoever is persecuting her. But then she almost dies. Now, Sophie cannot trust anyone but herself. Alone, she must confront the dangers shadowing her every move, and track down the killer - before she becomes the next victim.
