       A present day Mr Darcy in Disguise?

      Gemma Astley has succeeded where so many others have failed. She has somehow managed to tame tearaway rock star Dominic Heath and stop his womanising ways for good. But just as they find happiness, Dominic’s secret aristocratic past becomes public knowledge, and everything changes…not necessarily for the better.

      Dominic is actually Rupert Locksley, heir of Mansfield Hall, a crumbling stately home that needs major financial investment to save it from ruin. Dominic’s mother pleads for his help, but his father, the earl, is on the verge of disinheriting him. Meanwhile, Dominic’s new status as Mansfield’s long-lost heir attracts the attention of cut-throat golddiger, socialite Bibi Matchington-Alcester, who means to make him hers at any cost.

      Gemma and Dominic will need to test the strength of their foundations – as well as those of Mansfield Hall – if either are to remain standing.

       KATIE OLIVER

      loves romantic comedies, characters who ‘meet cute’, Richard Curtis films and Prosecco (not necessarily in that order). She currently resides in northern Virginia with her husband and three parakeets, in a rambling old house with uneven floors and a dining room that leaks when it rains.

      Katie has been writing since she was eight, and has a box crammed with (mostly unfinished) novels to prove it. With her sons grown and gone, she decided to get serious and write more (and hopefully, better) stories. She even finishes most of them.

      So if you like a bit of comedy with your romance, please visit Katie’s website, www.katieoliver.com, and have a look.

      Here’s to love and all its complications…

      A big thank you to all of the bloggers, reviewers, Twitter followers, Facebook page fans, friends, and fellow UK HQ Digital authors for your ongoing support. Special thanks to Rebecca Raisin for her unstinting encouragement and help.

      And, as always, huge thanks to my agent, Nikki Terpilowski, and my husband, Mark.
