“Err…umm…sudden migraine,” I muttered, as I shut down my laptop. “The boss was too busy to see me today anyway, so I’m going to head off home to try and sleep it off in a dark room.”
“You poor thing. You look really dreadful, you're so pale. Do you want me to run you home?”
“No, it’s fine. I’ll grab a taxi. You need to stay here and hold the fort,” I smiled wanly at him. It was nice of Tom to offer, but I really needed to be on my own right now. I knew my world was about to implode but I thought I could just about hold onto things until I got out of the office.
There was a taxi rank just across the road, so that would be the easiest option. I would head on back to my apartment – no, that was wrong, it was his apartment, wasn’t it? I would head back, collect my things, and then work out a way to put as much distance between myself and Liam Starr as possible.
I was fine on my own before I met him, and I’d be fine on my own once again now. I didn't need him. I didn't need anyone.
At least that’s what I told myself as I sat in the back of the taxi. But then the tears rolled down my cheeks as I started to sob uncontrollably, knowing that this chapter of my life was now over, and a new unchartered one was about to begin.

Here is a teaser from the Prologue of ‘Starr Destined’.
Prologue ~ Kimberley
I’ve always been a very determined and strong willed person, and I’ve always believed that if you want something in life badly enough, you just have to keep trying and not accept rejection. Life is full of knock backs, but you keep plugging away until you get what you want. That’s my philosophy in life, and it’s how I got myself through law school then clawed my way up to achieve my goal of landing a position with Lewis and Kirk, the prestigious law firm based in the iconic Gherkin building in London. Dogged and persistent is how I’ve sometimes been described, and I wouldn’t disagree.
When Liam Starr called time on our relationship, I admit I was disappointed. Disappointed, but not deterred…
