Romance of a Lifetime — Carole Mortimer

"Forget him and find someone new."

That was the advice Beth's worldly-wise mother gave her. "It's the only way to get over a disastrous affair."

Beth wasn't sure she really wanted to see more of attractive Marcus Craven. Not that Marcus was giving her any option; his pursuit of Beth following their chance meeting in Verona had been decidedly single-minded.

But something held her back from confiding in him. She had the strange feeling that Marcus knew more about her past than she would ever have revealed. And, to be honest, Beth was also afraid to fall in love again....

Hero: Marcus Craven
Heroine: Beth Palmer
