About the Book

Blurb

“It was one stolen night. He was my soulmate and I’d never felt more alive. I couldn’t tell him I got pregnant. It would’ve ruined everything. But now his daughter wants to meet him and I need to make things right.” Another tear escaped down her cheek. “Everybody’s going to hate me.” Three friends are rocked when a 20-year secret blows their world apart. Steamy, passionate, and unpredictable. If you like sizzling love triangles you won’t want to miss it. Grace has kept her heart-breaking secret for twenty years – a love child she gave up for adoption. She was a penniless student - how could she raise a baby alone? Then she receives a letter out of the blue. Her long-lost daughter is searching for answers. Her two best friends are married and don’t know one of them is the girl’s father. If Grace confesses now, the marriage will be destroyed and it will surely be the end of their lifelong friendship. But what choice does Grace have? Set in the wilds of Poldark-country – the stormy cliffs and windswept beaches of picturesque Cornwall – an engrossing saga filled with suspense, simmering jealousy and heartbreak. Can a future be built on the quicksand of secrets and lies? Surely there can be no second chances when three friends discover they don’t know each other at all.

Excerpt

His glance swept over her as he tugged a branch, scattering scarlet petals over the grass. He let it spring back, oblivious to the effect he was having on her. She was glad of her sunglasses to hide behind as he hooked his thumbs in his belt loops, exposing an inch of caramel skin.

“Will you be around to look after me?”

“Do you flirt with all your customers?”

“Technically, you’re not the customer. And who wouldn’t flirt with a naked blonde?”

“Technically, I wasn’t naked.”

“You’re quibbling over details.”

He smiled that killer smile and pushed his wild black hair off his face. He stood to one side to let her pass. Ridiculous to be so flustered by his banter. But she couldn’t keep her eyes off him as she led him down the slope to the beach.

He trampled the dense ivy and ferns with his boots, the view of his taut thighs more than tempting. She bet he’d have long sinuous muscles, like a dancer. Clearly she was losing the plot.

The grass became sparse and sprinkled with sand, the air salty with the hiss of the sea. Danny stopped suddenly, in the lea of a sand dune, dotted with purple thistles.

“A private beach? Are you fucking kidding me?”

“It’s not private, as in legally owned by the family.”

“You wouldn’t say that’s splitting hairs?” A tumble of rocks lay in front of them, then the endless expanse of the sea. Danny weighed a pebble in his hand and tossed it towards the gentle waves. “It’s the coolest thing ever. Not great for surfing, maybe. But for swimming, wow!”

“It’s the Atlantic. It’s freezing! And the current can be challenging when it rains.”

He hurled another stone at the water. It bounced off the surface with hardly a splash. “I bet you’re the gym-bunny type, all heated pool and zero riff-raff.”

It was none of his business, if she had membership to a place like that. “You’re implying I’m not up to swimming in the sea?”

“I’m game, if you are?” He shucked up his T-shirt. His stomach was tanned and toned.

“Please tell me you’re joking!”

He laughed, glancing at his watch. “I have to be somewhere now but you can take me on tomorrow…”
