A PERFECT COUPLE. A PERFECT LIFE. A PAST THAT IS ABOUT TO DESTROY THEM.
A young married couple's lives are thrown into turmoil when a schoolfriend from the husband's past reveals a devastating secret that has remained buried for more than seventeen years. Melanie and Gareth Sayer and their daughter, Georgie, are making a new start. But it's not always good to start again in a place you left behind — not when it’s a place where old scores are waiting to be settled. The picturesque village of Pencarew on the Pembrokeshire coast hides bitter resentments and jealousies . . . it is a place seething with unfinished business.
How well do you know the people you share your life with? Can you trust them not to lie? Can you trust them with your life? Melanie is about to find out.
