Thirty Links to Freedom E Phillips

He wears the chains - she wears a smile - that's the deal. When they were at school, Richard Westmore lusted after Eve Jessop but he never had the courage to speak to her. She was on a pedestal too high for him reach, an athlete and a swimmer, popular with the sporting elites. He was younger and into music rather than sports. 15 years later, he has the confidence but he also has a secret he's desperate to keep. Eve is now a deputy-head at a difficult school. She lives a solitary life and isn't looking for a husband. When she sees Richard again she recognises him but can't think why. He wasn't part of her circle of friends and yet he seems familiar. She has one last fantasy she wants to try: he can keep his secret if she can keep him in chains... Will the links lead to a greater freedom or will his secret break them?
