AUTHORS NOTES

A Life Half Lived is the second book in the trilogy of the de Lisle sisters. Book one - Once in a Blue Moon - introduced you to the middle sister, Pilar.

In this book, you meet the youngest sister - Morgan.

The title of this book comes from the movie "Strictly Ballroom" where a Spainish proverb is quoted: "A life lived in fear is a life half lived". This is a theme for this movie, and it also seemed to be quite apt for the couple in this book.

Morgan's life has been tough, and she has hidden her hurt underneath a brash exterior.

This has worked successfully until now, when she meets and has to work with Severus Snape.

His own life has been pretty hellish, and his hurt has been hidden underneath the exterior of a complete and utter bastard.

For both of them, their lives are lived in the fear that the pain from their past will overwhelm them.

Sexual tension, intrigue and misunderstandings abound as these two discover that "A life lived in fear is a life half lived".
