What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
The suspenseful new novel from the million-copy bestselling author of Thursdays in the Park, The Anniversary, The Lie and The Affair
He was meant to be the perfect man, until she discovered the hidden truth ...
A gripping story of love, heartbreak and one devastating confession that changes everything.
Sara Tempest has been alone since her husband died and daughters left home. But over the course of one summer she meets and falls in love with the charming Bernard. The years of heartache and loneliness are finally behind her.
She quickly moves into his beautiful home on the wind battered cliffs of Hastings. But, after a while, she begins to wonder if Bernard is all he seems.
He's barely in touch with his children and with stifling reminders of his wife everywhere Sara looks, the walls begin to close in.
Then comes Bernard's confession and Sara's newfound happiness starts to crumble around her . . .
