"The Riley twins were born in the spring of 1797 during a ferocious storm that battered the Salisbury Plain for three days together. Isabel entered the world with a flash of lightning, her shrieking drowned out by a grand clap of thunder. Thirteen minutes later the storm abated, clouds parted, and Miranda was handed to her father, blinking in rays of sun that poured through the window." Isabel loves the comfort of home and the company of her family and few close friends. She doesn't care for the drama of the season or dream of gothic adventures as her sister does. She is wild and carefree in her own right, mischievous if need be, and the fun she has with her sister and closest friend is enough to satisfy her fancies. If only life took pleasure in forcing adventure on those who wished for it, instead of those who did not. Miranda is a playful romantic, she looks forward to her first season with a desperation which rivals that of a starving man on his way to a feast. She can't wait to dress in beautiful gowns and dance the nights away with the height of the Ton. More than anything, she dreams of finding her prince charming and falling in love; but love is a game, and some play it far too well. What readers are saying: "What a wonderful read!!

Jake Kavanagh's daughter Ellie is 18 and all grown up . She is at college doing business studies, and her interest in music is no more than a casual hobby that she enjoys. Thanks to her dad's musical background she can play many instruments, including lead guitar, so when one of her fellow college buddies ask her to join his band just for fun she is happy to go along with it, with no great ambition to pursue a life of rock n roll musical fame like her father. That is until she clashes with Brett Carter the good looking lead singer of the semi -rival rock band Kikz, who also play in the same small nightclubs as Ellie. Brett is a talented musician, but arrogant and full of himself and filled with ambition to make his band and music a worldwide sensation.

But first she has to convince her father Jake, who has kept her pretty sheltered from the music business and fame, to protect her from the murky past of her dead mother. Now, if she wants to join Kikz, she knows she will have to put up with the arrogant Brett, and keep him in line, whilst they make it big in the music world to find fame and fortune in their own right. But can she do it successfully on her own terms, and prove to her father and everyone else, that she will not end up like her mother
