The Three Lives of Cate Kay

Cate Kay is the most famous author on the planet.

Except no one knows who she is.

To the small town she grew up in, and the best friend she left behind, she's Anne-Marie Callahan.

To the life she ran away to, and the woman she's about to fall in love with, she's Cass Ford.

To the rest of the world, she's Cate Kay, author of everyone's favourite novels and somehow completely anonymous. Until now.

Only she knows the truth about who she really is, or was: a girl with a big dream who made a terrible mistake all those summers ago.

But she can't outrun her past forever.

And when her secret is out and there are no more names to hide behind, who will Cate Kay finally choose to be?
