Mrs Middleton

Their love could heal their hearts…but destroy the relationships they both hold dear. Emma Bradley is trembling. And not because of the climate difference between England and Africa, where she's just ended an 18-month stint teaching sports to kids. She's about to see Vanessa again. Golden hair, luminous blue eyes, a smile to light up a room. The woman Emma loves. The woman she spilled her heart out to, then ran away to another continent to avoid a humiliating scene-because Vanessa is her best friend's mum. If Emma is lucky, maybe Vanessa chalked it up to too much wine. Or better yet, forgot all about it. Vanessa Middleton is fighting a serious case of uncertainty. Emma's confession is crystal clear in her memory, and now that Vanessa is divorced from her cheating husband, the strongest barrier between them is gone. But there are others no less challenging. Because if Vanessa couldn't keep her husband's attention, what could bright, beautiful, much younger Emma possibly see in her? Worse, if the two of them act on their attraction, their affair could jeopardise the relationship they both hold dear: Vanessa's daughter-Emma's closest friend.
