Expressing yourself from behind a screen has always been the easy way out; and for Lady O - pen name of Olyvia Cardoso - writing in this way makes her life lighter, less complicated, and easier to bear.

She forgets, briefly, that these same men were the ones who caused her so much pain during her teenage years. But she can never fully forget - not about everything. Suddenly, Gerard Gordon comes crashing back into Olyvia's life: one of the main contributors to her suffering all those years ago. Spiteful, arrogant, deceitful...or so it seemed.
