NOW AND FOREVER a spellbinding historical saga packed with danger, drama and romance

Master storyteller Margaret Scutt returns with something a little different - an utterly enchanting historical saga that will keep you gripped until the final page.

He promised to love her forever, but will she even live to see another day?

Dorset, 1682.

Catherine Carey was once a vivacious beauty with the world at her feet.

One tragic accident was all it took to shatter her dreams, her spirit, her everything.

Now, she only wants to hide her scarred face from the world. But if she thinks she's safe at home, she is wrong.

Her scheming brother wants to marry her off to a fortune-hunter, and he won't take no for an answer. Out on a lonely walk, Catherine is attacked and left for dead.

Could this be her brother's doing?

Catherine won't wait to find out. Her childhood friend, Martin Lacey, lives in the manor house across the woods, and there was a time when he would have done anything for her.

But in the turmoil of Restoration England, nothing lasts forever. Will turning up at Martin's door be the saving of her - or the end?

Filled with pulse-quickening adventure and heart-breaking drama, Now and Forever is perfect for fans of Georgette Heyer, Philippa Gregory, Beth Elliott, Julia Quin and Sandra Heath Wilson.
