Preface

London, a city that can feel both invitingly familiar and yet strange, new and exciting in the same breath. People are it’s lifeblood, pulsing through the veins of the city in vast numbers at all times of day and night. Amongst the bustling crowd, everyone is a stranger here... but when a connection is made; two eyes that suddenly meet and hold the gaze for those tantalising few seconds more than usual or when someone smiles, then quickly tries to avert their expression as a deep crimson infuses their cheeks... it is truly, utterly and magically powerful. Behind all this is London, centuries old, both grand and glorious - the backdrop to a million love stories. I hope you enjoy this one… Xx
