G etting into Cambridge was a dream come true for Sasha Miller, but destiny had a different plan for her. Her dream of becoming a physicist whose name would be remembered by the world was not to be.

Betrayed

Falling for the lies and charms of Theo Dexter - Director of Studies (Physics) at Cambridge University - she finds herself betrayed, humiliated and nursing a bundle of broken dreams. She heads to the United States, determined to rebuild her life. Theo Dexter becomes a celebrity and moves to New York to become a star. His wife Theresa supports him completely, turning a deaf ear to not just Sasha, but other rumours around Theo.

Eventually long-suffering Theresa also finds herself betrayed. Unable to cope she returns to Cambridge a broken woman and tries to rebuild her life. Years later, Sasha emerges from Harvard Business School with one thing on her mind: the downfall of the now famous Theo Dexter. She bides her time, waiting for the window of opportunity that would enable her to ruin his life.

One night, Sasha turns up at Theresa's door and she wants revenge at any cost. Will Theresa help her? From the deepest betrayal comes a shocking alliance. Two vengeful women, one very unlucky man…

Though the cover is a little misleading and the revenge predictable after a point, the plot is well knit, making Bagshawe's Scandalous an exciting read!
