Londoners Kim and Harry can't see eye to eye. until the life of the person they both love most hangs in the balance. Kim has never grasped what her free-spirited big sister Eva sees in a stuck-up banker like Harry and has spent her childhood trying to keep him out, while Harry's favourite occupation is winding Kim up.

They'll never understand each other—until the worst of all tragedy strikes. Faced with the possibility of losing the person they both love most, long-buried secrets come to a head in ways that will change both Harry and Kim forever. (ISBN: 9781925240559). Very Good.
