Subtitle from jacket.

Originally published in Australia in 2021 by HarperCollins Publishers Australia.

In the 1960s, an ambitious young Australian journalist must carve her own path among the scandal and intrigue of the Swinging Sixties in London where she encounters the last man she ever wanted to see who brings her dark past rushing back.

Breaking into the newspaper business in 1960s Sydney-- a competitive world dominated by hard-edged men-- isn't easy for a woman. Blaise Hill, the only female in The Clarion's newsroom, is helping support her family and her sister Ivy, whose life has been transformed by polio. When she secretly witnesses the murder of a top crime boss, one of the few people who knows what really happened is Adam Rule, who helps cover up the murder. When Blaise gets a plum assignment-- moving to England to cover the British royal family-- she is able to carve her own path among the scandal and intrigue of the Swinging Sixties in London. But the night she attends a gala in honor of the upcoming nuptials of Princess Margaret and Antony Armstrong-Jones, she sees Adam Rule. Does he know her secret-- or is this the beginning of something far more dangerous? -- adapted from jacket
