Three Connected Stories by Miranda Lee. A series revealing the hopes, scandals and passions among Australia's monied families, as Gemma Smith searches for the secret of her true identity and fights for Nathan Whitmore's love. Seduction & Sacrifice Lenore was finished with Nathan, and had set her sights on Zachary Marsden. He was loyal, handsome . . . and perfect husband material. She'd secretly loved him for years, but she knew he would never leave his wife . . . Desire & Deception Jade tried to hate Kyle Armstrong -- after all, her father had given him the marketing position at Whitmore Opals that she wanted -- but she found herself attracted to him. She feared he might be the same type as Nathan Whitmore, her adoptive brother, though . . . the type with ice in his veins. Passion & the Past Melanie was intensely drawn to Royce Grantham, though she'd been sure she could never feel anything for a man again. She was determined not to repeat past mistakes, but strong emotions overcame her willpower where Royce was concerned.
