The closer the couple, the bigger the lie . . .

'I just thought you should know who you're married to . . .' Romy and Michael had it all. Thirty years of marriage, two wonderful sons and a beautiful home. Until a letter arrives containing a shocking accusation, and everything falls apart. Fleeing to an idyllic village to find time to think, Romy finds herself drawn to Finch, a handsome stranger with a tragic past. Is this a chance to start again? But then the phone rings- Michael is in hospital. He says he needs her help.

Romy finds herself caught between two very different lives - and two very different men - as she tries to do her duty to her husband, unravel the truth about his past, and find out where her heart truly lies.
