AbstractHistoryArchive Description

After an unhappy period apart, Francis and Siana Matheson have settled into a loving marital relationship in their comfortable Dorset home. Siana's only sorrow is that so far she has been unable to bear her husband another child. Francis however is content to be a father to his grown-up daughters and his young son, Bryn, born while he was overseas. But Siana is hiding a secret. Although she hates keeping something from her husband, the need to protect all concerned has left her with no choice. She must keep quiet and live with the guilt of her deceit. No one can keep the truth hidden forever - and when Siana's shocking secret bursts into the open, there will be tragic and far-reaching consequences for the close-knit Matheson family - From author's website
