Treacherous Waters

A widow remarries for the sake of her child and discovers her husband has been keeping secrets from her in this historical romance.

 


London, 1925: Annie Sancerre is finally looking for love. Her French husband was killed in the First World War before their son Davie was born, and since then the young widow has put him first in everything. Her motherly instincts tell her that Davie would benefit from having a father, and when Fergus Cameron proposes to her, Annie knows he offers them both comfort and security.


But is there more to life than just safety and good sense? When she and Davie bump into Richard Ross near their home in Kew, her instincts are proved correct. Richard, a lawyer, has an easygoing charm and she agrees, at his insistence, to become his wife.


But shortly afterwards she wonders if there was more to their original chance meeting than she thought . . . Why does Richard know more about her past than she does? And can love survive the poison of treachery?


From Teresa Crane, author of the smash-hit The Italian House, this is a vivid and unputdownable story of life, love, deception, and betrayal.
