The whispering gate

by Mary Wibberley

An innocent act of kindness—or a harmful deception? If Andrea Brown hadn't happened to wander into the art exhibition on that particular day, her life would have taken a different turn. But the Hand of Fate seemed to guide her to that one strangely meaningful picture -and into Marco Leoni's life. And if Andrea had never met Marco, she would never have agreed to pose as the long-lost granddaughter of his Uncle Stavros. This deception, he persuaded her, would be an act of kindness towards the aged, dying man. But Marco's cousin Dominic had very different ideas about the scheme - and thought rather little of Andrea.
