Secret at Midwinter End — Maureen Wakefield

THE LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP…

…between Lalage Derwent and Mike Darracot was inevitable when two red-headed tempers clashed. Transforming Lalage from a pale, dull cocoon of secretary into the glamorous blonde butterfly of the moonlight-and-magic record world, Petal Starr, Mike gave her what he believed every girl dreamed of.

But Lallie felt that she was merely a valuable toy Mike had made with his own hands, nothing more than a cheap rag doll. And so, at the peak of her success, she decided to give it all up. But her one last visit to Mike at his family home, Midwinter End, would suddenly open up a Pandora's Box of tensions that threatened to destroy both Lallie and Mike.
