Author:Diana Stainforth

A novel in the tradition of Barbara Taylor Bradford

We are all indiscreet. Most of the time we get away with it...

Olivia Steele has everything going for her when she joins the prestigious merchant bank of Culross. Until she meets the brilliant but dissolute financial journalist Gerald Quentin and, in a moment of weakness, commits a fatal indiscretion.

Abandoned by her 'friends', homeless, and with her career in ruins, Olivia is determined to fight back...and win.

From high finance in London and New York, to the jet-setting lifestyles of the expatriate rich in Italy and Greece, Olivia's story brings to life the high-pressure world of today's career woman with all its glamour, poignancy and danger.
