Matters of the Heart

by Danielle Steel

Hope Dunne is a top photographer, living alone in her chic Soho loft. After a tragic loss she is finally content with her life ... until she flies to London at Christmas to photograph one of the world's most celebrated writers. Finn O'Neill exudes warmth and a boyish charm, and has soon whisked Hope away to his palatial, isolated Irish estate. But cracks soon appear in his stories, a few innocent lies, bouts of jealousy ... Suddenly Hope is suspicious, and ultimately frightened of the man she loves.
