The Man Who Came Back

Can you trust a man who has secrets he won’t share? It’s been seven years since the brutal murder of Emma Cardale’s best friend, Laura, and Emma’s only just managed to pick up the pieces and start her life over in a new town. She has a job she enjoys, and a wonderful man in Jack Scarlet, whose dancing eyes and quicksilver moods make her heart sing, even though he’s reluctant to talk to her about his past. But one day she returns home with bad news from work to find an unwelcome ghost from the past on her doorstep: Tom Burdock, Laura’s husband, who’s widely believed to be her murderer. Tom’s returned from Africa, where he fled after his wife’s death, and he’s determined to prove his innocence. The allegation he makes shatters Emma’s happiness: that her beloved Jack was also Laura’s lover - and her killer. But Jack didn’t know Laura…did he? As Emma searches for the truth she struggles with a painful dilemma - can she trust the man she loves, or is she putting herself in terrible danger?
