Hidden Identity

'If I did anything right in my life, it was when I gave my heart to you, my love. I swear I couldn't love you more than I do right now, yet I know I will tomorrow.' For Audrey, ‘Seymour House’ is not only a house. It’s her most precious legacy. All her memories are there, still living inside those four walls. So, she needs to do everything in her power to save it. Even if it means going against a ruthless businessman like James Mayer. James came to England with one thing in his mind: avenge his father. He has a score to settle with the Seymour family. James is determined to see this matter all the way through, starting with getting his hands on ‘Seymour House’. After one meeting with Audrey Seymour, James decides he will have the house and everything in it… including the gorgeous lady of the house. Against her better judgment, Audrey is attracted to James’s powerful sensuality. He is so tempting… Still, she is saving herself for her wedding night, and the American tycoon is definitely not the marrying kind! But there’s one thing she doesn’t know about him… whatever James Mayer wants, he usually gets.

CHAPTER 1
         ‘Just a few more hours and then everyone would leave. I can do it… I have no other choice,’ Audrey thought looking outside from her bedroom’s window.            It was what her parents would have expected of her. She could almost hear her mother’s warm, faintly admonishing voice whispering in her ear.  “Come on, Addie… Keep your eyes on the prize, sweet girl. And remember, this too shall pass.”           It had been one of her mother’s favorite sayings when as a small child, she had tried to duck out of anything unpleasant. Audrey Seymour drew in a deep breath and straightened her drooping shoulders. Checking her reflection in the bedroom mirror, she satisfied herself that the recent flood of tears didn’t show and then left the room. &n

CHAPTER 2
           While making her way around the room, talking to one group of folk and then others, Audrey was uncomfortably aware of a pair of blue eyes watching her every move. Most people had plates of Amy’s delicious buffet in their hands by now but, although Anthony had wandered off into the dining room, she knew James Mayer had not budged from his stance by the door.“Who is Maxim de Winter type Dad’s been talking to?”          As Audrey joined the group consisting of Anthony’s children and their partners and his wife, it was Clarice, Anthony and Gillian’s youngest daughter, and the only child still unattached, who spoke.“He’s new around here, isn’t he?”“Oh, Clarice.”           Her mother shushed her, but Clarice continued.“Wha

CHAPTER 3
          Only it wasn’t going to be so simple. An hour later, sitting across the coffee table in the living room from Anthony, Audrey and Amy stared in horror at the lawyer.“I thought you knew…” Anthony had said this twice in the last ten minutes since he had dropped his bombshell and his voice was wretched. “I didn’t imagine… I mean…”          He stopped abruptly.“Your father said he was going to tell you, Addie.”“I… Um… I suppose he was going to,” she replied numbly. “He’d asked me to come down to Seymour House the weekend before the crash but I’d got something on. I was coming down the next…”          Her voice trailed away.“How, Uncle Tony? How could he lose e

CHAPTER 4
          Over the next couple of days, Audrey and Amy followed one unproductive idea after another, but by the end of that time, Audrey was forced to acknowledge the fact that the situation looked absolutely hopeless.          If either of them had shedloads of cash they could afford to pour into the old house it might be different, but if they had then they wouldn’t be in the position they were anyway. Her father had gambled on the business reviving and he had lost. End of story, end of Seymour House. The debt was huge, colossal.          Audrey called Anthony Blackburn on the third morning after the funeral. She and Amy were sitting close together on one of the couches in the living room, so they could both hear the conversation, their faces tight and strained.        &

CHAPTER 5
           Opening the bedroom door, Audrey walked over to the wardrobe. ‘I really need to look businesslike,’ she told herself firmly. ‘Cool and businesslike and in control.’ Audrey always left a selection of clothes at Seymour House for holidays and weekends with her parents, but they were much less formal than her things in London.“Damn it! There must be something that would do in here.”          She glanced at the charcoal dress and black jacket, which were still where she had thrown them on the night of the funeral.“No! I can’t wear these again…”          Silly and emotional perhaps, but that was the way she felt. That June day was a warm one, the sky blue and cloudless with just the slightest of breezes whispering over the garden and through

CHAPTER 6
          He stared at her. It took all of her strength not to let her eyes fall away but Audrey was determined not to be the one to look away first. Antony began to say something into the taut silence which had fallen but in the next instant, James was on his feet, glancing at the other two.“I think Miss Seymour and I need to talk privately for a few minutes. If you’ll excuse us? We won’t be long.”“Addie?” Anthony glanced at her, his face concerned.“It’s perfectly alright, Uncle Tony.”          Audrey had risen to her feet and now she smiled at the lawyer and Amy.“Order for us if the waitress returns, would you? You already know what I usually order here.”          She didn’t think she’d be able to eat a thing but it would be

CHAPTER 7
          Audrey was trying to maintain her calm, but the man in front of her and his awful accusations was rubbing her the wrong way. So being cool, calm, and collected went all down the drain.“If you must know, Mr. Mayer, my mother was a wonderful woman, the best, if I may say so. And never, in a million years, would she have married my father simply because he was going to inherit a business and a big house. She wasn’t like that.”          Her fury strangely seemed to calm James. His voice was now lower than it had been a moment ago and without the growl to it.“Calm yourself, woman,” he said but without using a mocking tone. “You’re overreacting right now.”          She didn’t think about what she did next… It was pure instinct. The sound of the slap echoe

CHAPTER 8
“Miss Seymour… I…”          James stopped and expected until she faced him again. And Audrey did face him again. She was conscious of the dark shadow of his chest hair under the thin cotton shirt he was wearing. Her mouth went dry. Ridiculous, but somehow her body kept insisting that she acknowledge her sexual awareness of this man when it was the last thing she wanted to do.“I don’t want to argue with you, Miss Seymour,” he said flatly. “I really mean that. But I’m not prepared to let Seymour House go now when my father has expressed an interest in acquiring the property. For that reason, I will buy the house, with or without you on board. If it helps your ultimate decision, most of my time will be spent seeing to our business in the States.”          Audrey flushed in spite of herself. She liked pla

CHAPTER 9
          He watched the car drive away without responding to Anthony’s questions. In truth, James didn’t hear the other man, his mind and senses still tied up with the young woman who was the daughter of his father’s old rival.          James admitted to himself that he had, quite unjustly, pictured a different kind of woman from the one he just saw, when his father had first told him about his love for Diana Seymour.          The fact that everyone had told him the daughter was the spitting image of her mother, both physically and in temperament, had prepared him for a cold, calculating, beautiful woman with her eye to the big prize. The sort of woman who didn’t mind trampling over anyone who got in her way.          He hadn’t been too sure of Audrey&

CHAPTER 10
“He said what?”          Amy stared at Audrey, shaking her head.“Look, it wasn’t like that, Addie. I promise you.”“You know about it, then?”          Audrey was beginning to feel very confused. Nothing was as it seemed. They were sitting in the living room at Seymour House with a tray of coffee in front of them, but she had succumbed to pressure from Amy and related all that had passed between her and James before she’d even had a sip of coffee.          Now she reached forward and took a hefty gulp of the scalding-hot liquid before asking again.“Amy, am I the only person in the world who doesn’t know about George Mayer and my mother?”“It was all so long ago, Addie. Of course, I knew George, having been born in the
