Sometimes you have to dig
deep to discover what you really need.
Marketing events manager Molly Keir doesn’t realise
how much she still cares for her ex until she meets him with another woman. Her
answer is to seize the chance of a glittering job in London – even though this
will mean leaving behind her aging father and pregnant best friend Lexie Gordon.
Adam Blair is in the wrong job. Pressured by his
father to join the family law firm, the stress of work helped break his
marriage. Now Molly is moving to London, and he knows he needs to move on – but
events soon overtake his best intentions.
A year ago, Caitlyn Murray quit her well-paid job to
avoid becoming a whistle-blower. Now she is stuck at home with her overworked
mother and four needy step-siblings. Tempted by the offer of a good wage, she
returns to her old firm – where her nightmare comes back to haunt her.
Molly and Adam seem to have gone too far to recover
the love they once had, and when Caitlyn finds the courage to speak out, she
brings all their worlds tumbling down.
EXTRACT
Molly Keir rummaged in her
handbag and extracted her glasses.
‘Yum, this looks amazing.
Scallops, black pudding, Gravadlax, sole paupiettes. Wow. I didn’t realise how
ravenous I was till I started reading!’
Lexie whispered, ‘Molly.’
‘Mmm? What do you think about
beef?’
‘Molly.’
Molly looked up at the note of
urgency. ‘What?’
Lexie’s face had turned an odd
shade, and her brown eyes had a panicky look about them. She was staring over
Molly’s shoulder at the doorway.
Molly shoved her glasses back
onto the top of her head and swung round. A woman was walking into the room.
She was Asian – Indian perhaps? – and classically beautiful. Her hair fell in
thick, shiny tresses halfway down her back, her eyes were dark as treacle and
dramatically outlined in black. She was wearing scarlet. Afterwards, that was
what Molly remembered most – the stunning silky dress, hugging a perfect
figure.
For now, the dress and the woman
faded improbably into the background because there was a man behind her. Not
just any man – Adam Blair.
Molly’s husband.

ABOUT
JENNY HARPER
I've
been a writer for most of my life. I've written and co-authored a number of
books on Scotland, a history of childbirth, a children's novel and a romantic
novel, all published some years ago. I've now turned my attention to writing
the kind of novels I like to read - well written and with some depth, but not
literary or too demanding. I like to tackle issues, but also to incorporate the
complicated emotional challenges of day-to-day living.
