From a bestselling author comes this compassionate story of what happens when reality meets fairytale behind the scenes for a marriage. For readers of 100 Years of Betty.

Georgette Smith is walking on air. Her fiance Richard is everything she's ever wanted in a man: he's charming, kind, brings her flowers and even loves her mother. When a whirlwind romance is followed by a wedding date, her fairytale seems complete.

But even fairytales have a few frogs. Her mother-in-law takes over her (increasingly lavish) wedding arrangements, and the minute she announces her engagement her boss sacks her. Her new job as assistant to a private investigator, Max, a man who tracks down evidence for divorce cases, lays bare a world Georgette can barely believe: one filled with cheating, drinking, violence, gambling and people trapped in loveless marriages by laws which make it almost impossible to leave them. It's harrowing, but surely, her marriage will be different, won't it? When Georgette sees some compromising photos that hit too close to home she realises that her marriage has a secret so big that if uncovered would heap disgrace upon her and her family forever. Her heart is broken, her dreams shattered, but for Richard, the consequences could be too terrible for words, and Georgette has to decide whether to keep their secret, or bring it out into the light...
