About this ebook
A mesmerising psychological drama about desire and betrayal from the bestselling author of Our House.
'Moving and thought-provoking' Daily Mail
'Superbly crafted' Elle
Be careful who you let into your heart - and your home
When Davis Calder moves in next door to Kate Easton and her two children, no one has any idea of the devastation about to be unleashed. With Kate struggling to accept her teenage daughter Roxy's independence and with tensions between Kate and her ex-husband Alistair still very much alive, there's enough family drama to go around already.
Before they know it, clever, charismatic Davis is the only one who seems able to keep the peace. Soon Kate has fallen in love and agreed to be his wife. At last she can come to terms with the betrayals of her first marriage. At last she dares hope she has the happy ending she deserves . . .

Prepare to hate this man as much as you hate Alan Rickman for buying that office tart a necklace and breaking Emma Thompson's heart. Very slow and VERY predictable, but it did the job and distracted me from real life for an evening.
