'Tackles a difficult subject with a light touch to keep you turning the pages' VERONICA HENRY

A perfect husband

To their friends, Lily and Freddy have a great marriage. He taught her to love again after the death of her first husband. But when Freddy becomes tense and distracted, a life-changing truth is revealed.

A terrible shock

Freddy has built up massive gambling debts that threaten to destroy not only his life but Lily's as well.

Should she go forward - or back?

Her friends and family urge her to forget him and move on - easier said than done. Is her willingness to give him a second chance just down to loyalty? Or is the truth something altogether darker?
