I've been living two lives for the past seven years. One with Victor and the other with Damien. Victor I've known all my life. When his parents died he even came to live with my family and I. I was so in love with him. It wasn't until years into our relationship I started to see the faults in him. Then he went off to Iraq. Damien was the bad boy biker at our high school. Even while I was with Victor, I couldn't keep my eyes off of him. Then I got on the back of his bike and I thought I finally found my home. Then Victor came back wounded. That was all five years ago and now those two lives and my two loves are starting to converge. I don't know who I am anymore and I don't know who I want to be with. Though these two guys won't let me be single for long. But one of them has gotten me into a lot of trouble with the mob. And now it's up to the other one to save me. And before you roll your eyes, that statement isn't what you think. You'll be surprised who the bad guy really is. I promise to find my happily ever after, even if it's at the Wrath MC clubhouse in the arms of an alpha biker or in the high society world where I was born and in the arms of my ex-army man.

Extraordinary writing... For mothers and those even vaguely interested in family dynamics it is fascinating' - Alexandra Heminsley Charting the course of one year, the first in her youngest child's life, Clover searches for answers to questions that many of us would be too afraid to admit to - not only about motherhood, but also about female sexuality and identity.
