Summary

Bertram Shaw's life was torn apart when he opened the door to his bedroom and found the love of his life, Emily Dimmock, pale and ashen on their shared bed with her throat slit. Somewhere in his heart, Bertram knew this girl was trouble… and even then, he couldn't quite grasp just how dark and twisted Emily's past had been. At the age of 22, Emily Dimmock was leading a double life. By day, she was Mrs. Shaw, the dutiful young housewife, and by night, she was Phyllis, London's most sought-after escort.
