The 29th of February, the day I was born. When I wake up on this day, I’m in a different city, with a different life and no memory of the lives I had before this one. Today is the tenth time this has happened to me. The tenth time I’ve had to figure out where the hell I am. The tenth time I’ve had to try and work out who the hell I am. This is the tenth alteration of the person I am. Each of us has had different lives, different backgrounds and different families. But there’s always been one constant. Him. He’s the reason I keep doing this. He’s the reason I spend four years searching. If I’m lucky, I’ll get the trigger and find him quickly and we can spend those four years together before I disappear again. If I’m not, we might get a year, a month or even just a day. Once we got nothing, but that was a choice. And every time it happens, he patiently waits for me. He says that every time I come back to him, it’s like falling in love with me all over again. I say that every time I come back, I fall even more in love with him than before. It scares me that one day I won't be able to find him at all, because when that day comes, I'm not sure I'll want to keep going. He is my strength, my protector, my one and only constant. I love him. He loves me. But every four years, I lose myself. And every four years, I have to find him. This is our story. Views: 58

A compelling journey along the dark, decadent halls of power—complete with seduction and intrigue—and finally to the terrifying truths behind the silenceWhen journalist Laurie Forbes turns up on Beth Ashby's doorstep, minutes after Beth's husband, political highflier Colin Ashby, has been arrested for murder, neither can even begin to guess the shocking repercussions that have just been triggered in both their lives. Beth attempts to escape from her shattered life by throwing herself into the kind of reckless high living that seems destined for disaster, while Laurie finds herself being threatened, terrorized, and even taken prisoner for what she knows. As the dangerous truth draws closer, Laurie realizes that if she is to save Beth from those preparing to destroy her, she must put her trust in hated rival journalist Elliot Russell and face up to a ghost from the past.From Publishers WeeklyAn overwhelming page count and a sluggish pace flaw this otherwise engrossing novel of love and lies. High-profile government official Colin Ashby lives in London with his devoted wife, Beth, and pays court to a series of mistresses. When Colin is arrested in the murder of his latest lover, Beth is heartbroken, but she stands by Colin's claim of innocence. Laurie Forbes, an aspiring journalist, is also certain there's a coverup going on. After being warned off the story several times, Laurie seeks the help of her nemesis: handsome fellow journalist Elliot Russell. While Laurie tries to uncover the truth, Beth hides from it by adopting an entirely new life as writer Ava Montgomery. Laurie's character development alone could have made a great novel, but too many stories and too much information wreck the page-turning potential of this involved romantic mystery. (Dec.)
