Money isn't everything. Love comes to London
by Miss Suzy Ripley

Julian King is a billionaire with a broken heart. Although he is one of the most eligible bachelors in London he’s not interested in finding romance. The love of his life Jessica was murdered five years ago and he was the prime suspect. The murder is still unsolved and all the money in the world isn’t enough to find the answers he’s still looking for. Somebody even more powerful has managed to stop him finding out the truth until now. Then a feisty and beautiful American Kara Valentine enters his life. Julian is shocked as he feels attracted to someone for the first time since Jessica died. She is intent on stopping one of the King’s major developments. Julian and his father Jack want to build a plastic surgery clinic even if it does mean knocking down her art gallery in Greenleaf Street. A special place with a wonderful community that Kara has made her home. The people who live there are her family and she is determined to protect them. What she doesn’t know is Julian has his own reasons for flattening the street, and that his father is hiding a legacy of sinister secrets. Julian also didn’t realise the lengths his personal assistant Freya will go to try and make him love her. Everyone has a secret to hide even Kara, and as the truth starts to emerge it will cost the lives and perhaps sanity of some of those involved. When someone else dies detective inspector Linda Murphy turns up at the scene knowing that somehow Jack King is involved. She has waited decades to uncover the crimes committed by Jack and his cronies, and at last has a chance to prove them. Will she survive unlike many others who have tried and disappeared? Even if she does will she allow herself the love she has denied herself for the sake of her career? Or by uncovering the truth and bringing the bad guys to justice mean that all involved will hopefully find the love and closure they so desperately seek?
