Can Gemma ever catch him?

John has been back before, but this time Gemma finds out why. She is not the only woman in his life. Crushed by his deceit, Gemma must look for another home for her heart. And finds it... with Ceausescu's children, the countless orphans of his brutal regime.

In the country that held the secret to the lie of her past Gemma Kessler must find her future...
