Fans of Lucinda Riley, Santa Montefiore and Louise Douglas will be gripped by Muna Shehadi's stunning new novel of twisty family secrets.

Lyle had been the love of Holly Penny's life, until a split second changed their lives and destroyed their marriage. Now she's attending the funeral of her ex-husband at the elegant mountain resort they enjoyed together so often.

Surrounded by luxury she once took for granted, Holly discovers a devastating secret.

Lyle had kept their long, loving relationship a secret his next two wives. Even more troubling, stories the other wives tell bear little resemblance to the man Holly knew so well.

As the weekend unfolds, guided by detailed instructions Lyle left behind, new jarring surprises surface and new connections are formed that will force Holly to redefine both her future and, more heart-breakingly, her past.
