When Glenn Tebbhurst, a London charity fundraiser, visits a conference in Aachen to discover a miracle cure to aid his blind father, he doesn’t expect to meet Bettina, a sightless woman of exquisite beauty working for another international charity, who enchants him on first glance. Bettina is spirited and independent, compassionate and exotic – all the things that his cold aristocratic English wife, Eleanora, is no longer. Over the course of the novel, Glenn meets five other blind women, each of them independent lynchpins of the organisation, and Herbert Farrand, its enigmatic head, whose shady dealings and decadent lifestyle prompt suspicion. Set in amongst ravishing settings, Glenn is drawn into a quest to uncover a conspiracy, as he struggles with a crippling marriage and a burning passion for an elusive woman.

Bella Beeston, educated in San Francisco and Chicago, has travelled widely and is a contributor and editor of several publications in London and the Middle East. Bella lives with her children in Surrey, England.
