A passionate affair. A marriage in crisis. A painful family secret.

Megan’s marriage is hanging on a knife-edge. The remote Welsh farm she loved so much when she and Noah were newlyweds has become a millstone around their necks. After thirteen years, Megan still feels like an outsider. People round here look at her strangely. They make it clear she doesn’t belong.

It's not only lack of money that’s threatening Megan’s relationship. After three failed rounds of IVF, her longing for a child is all-consuming.

It’s then she meets Gethin, an intense, complicated young man almost twenty years her junior.

Against her better judgement, Megan embarks on a passionate affair. But this unhappy farmer’s wife is unleashing forces she cannot control.

Because there are secrets in her husband’s family. Unwittingly, Megan has unearthed long-buried tensions that lurk within this isolated, fiercely proud community. The dark past is about to come to light. And there’s far more than Megan’s marriage at stake . . .

This gripping, suspenseful and heart-rending story of marriage, motherhood and dark family secrets is perfect for fans of Louise Douglas, B.A. Paris, T.M. Logan and Adele Parks.
