Catch A Falling Star — Rebecca King
Esther â€" Star â€" Knightly is as discontented with her life as it is possible to get. As a young woman without a fortune, or estimable connections, she has little to offer the world around her and knows it. While being chaperone to the Dowager Willoughby is the best position she could ever hope to get, Star knows she has little chance of having a life of her own but is helpless to do anything about it. That is, until Edgar Willoughby enters her life and throws her entire world upside down, and gives her hope and promises of a future she daren't believe are real.
Ed knows he must do something about his growing attraction for his grandmother's companion, especially when it becomes evident Star needs his help. When the rather dishonourable attention of a questionable gentleman puts her reputation at risk, Ed steps in to help her. What he doesn't expect, however, is to face a series of daring situations that make him question everything â€" including Star.
When faced with her scandalous past, Star knows she must convince the Dowager, and Ed, that she is trustworthy. Doing that proves impossible, however, when the truth about her is finally revealed, and she faces complete ruin.
Star's only hope of survival is to leave all her dreams behind, including Ed, and start again somewhere else. What she doesn't expect is for Fate to throw her one last cruel twist that shatters her world completely and leaves her facing an entirely different future which could destroy her.
Finding Star again is far harder than Ed ever expected, especially when he finds himself battling his own demons as well as his grandmother's scheming machinations.
Has he made the biggest mistake of his life letting her go, or has he narrowly escaped disaster? Whatever the case may be, Ed realises too late that he cannot live without Star, and needs to move heaven and earth to find her again. What he doesn't expect is to encounter the sinister intentions of a ruthless third party who makes it clear they will do everything in their power to ensure that Star and Ed never find their happy ever after.
