About this book

Sophie Madern, a successful freelance model, is invited to work with Ferdy Latour, her former employer and owner of a famous fashion house. She takes her brother, Paul, a diplomat, to the salon, where he sees and is attracted to Riba, a lovely but mercenary mannequin. The commercial photographs for Latour are taken by Jude Sagar, a man Sophie once loved but hoped she had forgotten. Sophie accepts a modelling assignment and travels to Istanbul, where, unexpectedly, she again meets Jude Sagar. And later, in Ankara, Paul Riba, Ferdy and the mysterious Mrs Demestre. A sequence of discomfiting and unexplained events culminate in Jude's invitation to Sophie to accompany him on a photographic expedition to the petrified, eerily beautiful, Goreme Valley. Here Sophie learns the truth and finds the valley's apparent tranquillity conceals fear, treachery and danger.

Rightful Possession

Sally Wentworth

To get her young brother out of serious trouble Genista needed a lot of money - and the one person who could help her was the enormously wealthy tycoon Marc Kiriakos. He agreed to help - but of course he wanted something in exchange, and what he wanted was Genista for his wife. He explained that it was a matter of convenience: he needed someone who would act as his hostess and also protect him from all the other women who were pursuing him. Genista had taken it for granted that he meant the marriage to be in name only, but it seemed she had been over-optimistic...

Iris Bromige

Alex Madison at twenty-five knows more about animals and country life than about the world of men, in spite of her striking good looks. When she takes a post as secretary-companion to the elegant journalist Dorinda Raynham, she is quite bowled over by the combined charm of the Raynham family. Only Dorinda's son Nigel seems rude and hostile. But Alex is to discover, rather painfully, that all that glitters is not necessarily gold, and that the handsome and friendly Bruce might be crueller than Nigel.

Ros's talents as a cook had got her several interesting jobs, but none more fascinating than the one Richard Livingstone was offering her - as cook aboard his luxury yacht sailing around the Spanish coast. It would help to solve her more personal problem, that of educating her young orphaned nephew, Christopher. But her enigmatical new employer seemed likely to post problems of a different kind. He was rich, charming and good-looking - but was it any use Ros being attracted to him? Was he any more likely to be seriously interested in her than the more lightweight but equally charming Jaime Hatfield? Shouldn't she just concentrate on her job?
