She knows it?she just has to find a way to prove it to Saul. 3) Ai wa Unmei no Mama ni (愛は運命のままに; The Perfect Match?) illust. by HIMURA Soraha The Crightons have position, power and elegance...and a past scandal to haunt them. The dark, brooding Guy Cooke just had to be the ideal man. Chrissie was entranced and, the wonder of it was, Guy appeared to be equally mesmerized by her! It seemed the perfect match but was it all too good to last? Chrissie had a family secret that Guy could surely never forgive... 4) Ai wa Madoi no Nochi ni (愛は惑いののちに; The Perfect Lover) illust. by OGATA Rin Relations between European Union nations can be tense, but that's nothing compared to the war that's been brewing between Professor Gareth Simmonds and Louise Crighton.
