When Jill''s husband discovers he can never have children, it tears a hole in their marriage that Jill doesn''t know how to repair. Frustrated, she seeks comfort in her friends: fierce Leigh, with her high-powered career and doting family, and sweet, uncomplicated Wendy, who has a rock-solid marriage any woman would envy.

Leigh and Wendy''s lives seem perfect. But beneath the surface are secrets that could tear their friendship apart.

Leigh has grown tired of her stay-at-home husband and is looking for excitement—outside of the marriage bed. And after seventeen years of marriage, Wendy can''t shake the sense that there is something missing in her life.

As Jill is drawn deeper into her friends'' relationships, she is confronted by a temptation of her own: an intriguing stranger whose good looks and charm spark an instant connection.

Full of the realities of modern-day marriage, The Secrets of Married Women asks the question: how well can we ever know our husbands, our friends, or even ourselves?

Revised edition: This edition of Secrets Of Married Women includes editorial revisions.

An Amazon Charts bestseller.

You want to know what the worst thing is? It’s not the embarrassment, or the looks on people’s faces when I tell them what happened. It isn’t the pain of him not being there—loneliness is manageable. The worst thing is not knowing why.

When Justin walks out on Alice on their honeymoon, with no explanation apart from a cryptic note, Alice is left alone and bewildered, her life in pieces.

Then she meets Evelyn, a visitor to the gallery where she works. It’s a seemingly chance encounter, but Alice gradually learns that Evelyn has motives, and a heartbreaking story, of her own. And that story has haunting parallels with Alice’s life.

As Alice delves into the mystery of why Justin left her, the questions are obvious. But the answers may lie in the most unlikely of places…

32-year-old Catelyn is mourning the sudden death of her husband. Desperate for a change of scenery, she travels to the sun-drenched Greek island of Zante with her wonderfully eccentric mother. The last thing she wants is a man complicating her perfectly planned solitude. But fate has other plans...

From a brooding olive-grove owner who steals her breath, to the charming Englishman who seems to read her soul, Catelyn is suddenly surrounded by possibilities she never dared imagine.

Yet the ghosts of her past—and her mother’s own surprising desires—threaten to ruin Catelyn’s hard-won calm. It will take a courageous leap of faith and a serendipitous meeting back home for Catelyn to realise that hearts can mend and love can bloom twice… even beneath foreign skies.

A heart-stirring tale of personal rediscovery and second chances, this is a perfect summer read for fans of Jojo Moyes and Sandy Barker.
