Praise For Jodi Ellen Malpas

“Malpas’s sexy love scenes scorch the page, and her sensitive, multilayered hero and heroine will easily capture readers’ hearts. A taut plot and a first-rate lineup of supporting characters make this a keeper.” —Publishers Weekly on Gentleman Sinner

“This book is JEM at her best, the secrets, lies, enemies... and tongue it cheek humour. It’s all there on every single page! I had no idea where this book was going or how the book would end. The journey was as captivating as it was enigmatic.” - Kindle and Koffee Book Blog on Wicked Truths

“It's just twist after dark and delicious twist; a completely, unquestionably unpredictable ride from start to finish. This is the kind of book where every page is important, because there is just SO MUCH going on, and it's an intricate dance from loathe to love for this couple.” - Jeeves Reads Romance on The Brit

“So it's safe to say, Jodi has once again completely smashed it with another sensation making it the best read of 2021! Hold on tight you’re about to be enthralled.” - Booksobsessive on The Enigma

“Unpredictable and addictive.”—Booklist on The Forbidden

For my readers.

Thank you for the last ten years.

Prologue

May 1991

Numbers. Fucking numbers. I stare down at the mock exam paper, the equations, fractions, and percentages all blending and blurring into one. I hate numbers. I can hear Mum behind us stirring a pot of soup and Dad in the garden mowing the lawn. I look up at the clock. Five fifteen. I have another forty-five minutes to get this shit done before I can escape.
