Summary

An utterly gripping story full of suspense, mystery, and romance

Please note this book was first published as A Matter of Trust.

When headstrong Nesta Aldernay comes to Oxford, it’s to set the record straight for her father. Not to get mixed up in a tragedy, and certainly not to seduce the attractive if somewhat complicated Detective Inspector Lisle Jarvis.

She’s only there to clear her father’s name. Sir Vivian Dalrymple of St Bede’s College tries to help her, but winds up dead. And Nesta was one of the last people to see Sir Vivian alive. What has she got herself into?

Detective Jarvis is concerned to find himself falling for a suspect in his latest murder case, and is determined to keep Nesta at arm’s length. But can he fight his feelings long enough to find Sir Vivian’s killer?

Don’t miss this gripping and enjoyable romantic suspense novel perfect for fans of Danielle Steele, Josephine Cox, Nora Roberts, Marian Keyes, Jojo Moyes, or Jackie Collins.

Mills and Boon in disguise

Anyone who enjoyed, as I did, Faith Martin's other series might well be tempted to try this book. If they are expecting a mystery they are likely to be disappointed: both killer and motive are clear very early on.
Large sections of the book are little more than a dialogue about the sexual exploits of the protagonists. If you are a Mills and Boon fan, you may well enjoy this book. However, I wanted more substance, rather than descriptions of how a woman's nipples were firming up. I am not surprised that Faith chose to use a pseudonym.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
