The third and final novel in a dazzling historical trilogy from bestselling author Joanna Rees, following The Runaway Daughter and The Hidden Wife. For fans of Lucinda Riley and Penny Vincenzi. To have a future, she must confront her past... It's 1929 and after running away from her family in Lancashire, becoming a dancer in London, and having a riotous time in Paris with her best friend Nancy, would-be fashion designer Vita Casey is now living a much more sedate life with her baby son, Bertie. In New York, she's finally far away from her evil brother, Clement, and her nemesis, Edith. Or so she thinks. When the disastrous events of the Wall Street Crash change their destinies, Vita and Nancy flee to Los Angeles, where Nancy is determined to make it in the talkies. Schmoozing their way into the ranks of the Hollywood elite, Vita is starting to think that she can begin to fulfill her fashion ambitions. But when the love of her life, Archie, is hired as a writer on Nancy's new movie and Clement exacts his ultimate revenge, Vita's past and present collide. She has no choice but to tell the truth and try to reclaim what is rightfully hers before it's too late.
