When legal secretary Amanda Hammond crosses the threshold of The Old Lodge and soon takes up residence there, she doesn’t imagine that it will result in her life being put in danger.
Amanda is ambitious to advance in the law, but she has her inner demons which affect her confidence and hold her back. And she has an unfulfilled passion for writing, though the legal job has to be her bread and butter for now.
The cocksure exterior Amanda exhibits to the world doesn’t fool everyone. One person with an astute ability to read people and situations, though with an Achilles heel of his own, isn’t deceived.
On the threshold of womanhood and whatever else life may have to offer, she has to contend with a determined, spiteful, attention-seeking socialite as well as a terrorist after moving in with a well-known entrepreneur, a friend of her boss, criminal lawyer Hugh Sutherland. As Amanda grapples with the challenges of her new circumstances, a long-forgotten wound re-opens, the past rises up almost as though from the ashes, threatening to change everything and leading to a serious and dangerous situation.
Dovetailing with The Ardent Intern, the first novel in the Colchester Law World series, the story escalates to potentially disastrous heights.
This is the second novel in the Colchester Law World series but can be read alone.
Genre: Thriller
