If you don't learn from history ...You're destined to repeat it Not without you, she'd said. And I'd let her down...Hollywood, 1961: when beautiful, much-loved movie star Eve Noel vanishes at the height of her fame, no-one knows where, much less why. Fifty years later, another young British actress, Sophie Leigh, lives in Eve's house high in the Hollywood Hills. Eve Noel was her inspiration and Sophie, disenchanted with her life in LA, finds herself becoming increasingly obsessed with the mystery of her idol's disappearance. And the more she finds out, the more she realises Eve's life is linked with her own. As Eve's tragic past and the present start to collide, Sophie needs to unravel the truth to save them both - but is she already too late? Becoming increasingly entangled in Eve's world, Sophie must decide whose life she is really living ...

Praise for Not Without You:
`An elegant, fun page-turner: imagine Kate Winslet obsessed with Bette Davis in All About Eve' Red
`You'll race through the pages to find out what happens to them both' Heat
`A multi-faceted tale of fading fame and shifting fortunes' Grazia
`This cleverly constructed, dark tale [is] dripping with dark humour, gritty realism, with a little bit of romance thrown in too. An absorbing read' Star
`The shallow LA of today is wittily satirised, and the more glamorous age of the 50s brilliantly recalled' Sunday Mirror
Harriet Evans grew up in London. As a child she loved reading and making up stories. The career in musical theatre she'd always dreamed of never materialised for whatever reason, and so she ended up at Bristol University where she read Classical Studies. In her twenties she was lucky enough to get a job as a secretary at a publishing house and instantly realised working with books was what she'd always wanted to do. She was a fiction editor for ten happy years but left in 2009 to write full-time, making up stories all day.
Harriet still lives in London with her family. She likes old films, property websites, sloe gin cocktails, feminism and Bombay Mix, not in that order.
