A beautiful novel with strong female characters, a horrible husband, an incorrigible ex and an adorably decent man. A story about stressful lives and new beginnings, with a delicious mash up of mystery, drama and romance, set in the gorgeous Northumberland scenery. Charlotte is a young lawyer living in London, with the world at her feet. She has a luxury flat, a sports car and plenty of money, yet she is unhappy and the job that she used to love now gives her panic attacks.

On an ordinary Friday afternoon, a gunman gains entry to Whites Chambers in Manchester. His job is to find a particular barrister. But which one? The barristers work hard defending and prosecuting the unfortunate beings who find themselves at the mercy of the English criminal legal system. But when professional lines between them and Manchester’s organised criminal gang are crossed, it can only lead to trouble.

After escaping her stressful life in London and ditching her job as a solicitor in a prestigious city centre law firm, Charlotte has settled in Warkworth, a small village on the beautiful Northumberland coast. Her relationship with Liam is going well; she is in the process of opening up her own legal practice on the high street and is looking forward to being her own boss.

Gwen and Audrina met at university but haven’t seen each other since. They were best friends; they shared a house and their dreams for the future. Nineteen years later, Gwen is now a popular television newsreader and Audrina is a successful model, married to a wealthy footballer and has three stunning children. Neither of them has talked to anyone about what happened at university all those years ago, the catastrophic events following their night out at The Pendle Bar. Maybe now is the time to finally face the past.
