about the book

Fiona Hamilton has a secret – a child given up for adoption years ago, with whom she might now be able to reconnect. This doesn’t sit well with husband Michael who believes that sordid episode should stay in the past.Fiona’s search is further complicated by the fact that not only do teenage daughters Sarah and Jude not know they have a half-brother somewhere but Sarah has been diagnosed with life-threatening anorexia and it’s unclear how the news might affect her.Michael’s illusory, picture-perfect life is now unravelling fast. After uncovering his latest affair, Fiona wants out of the sham marriage and him out of the house, a Georgian villa called Lionsgate. He stands to lose everything he holds dear, most especially the property for which he espouses a strong attachment.What secret does Lionsgate hold? The answer will rock Fiona’s world as she attempts to navigate the minefield surrounding her, desperately trying to find answers and right past wrongs. But will the truth set her free or enslave her forever.
