Secrets (Stacey)

A woman on the run... Madeleine Frost knows she has to get away from her partner Liam. His behavior has become increasingly controlling and Maddie fears for her safety and that of her young daughter Poppy. Desperation leads Maddie to the hotel owned by her estranged father—the extraordinarily beautiful Wrea Head Hall. The reunion is tense, but Maddie's father agrees to her staying as his guest for as long as she needs. Maddie's whereabouts must stay a secret; but as she spends time getting to know her new home, she discovers the house has its own shocking past and secrets of its own. Secrets that could cost her dearly... And when Liam makes it clear he wants Maddie back, she has to reassess everything. Because when Liam wants something, he gets it-no matter who he hurts...

No place left to run... After the shocking events of last Christmas, Jess Croft is determined this festive season will be the one to remember, for all the right reasons. But when a stranger turns up on her doorstep claiming to be her estranged father, Jess is shocked. Moreso, when the man claims that the little girl with him is none other than Jess's sister-a child she knew nothing about. Jess isn't sure she wants these strangers to stay, but she can't turn them away, especially when she learns that their lives are in danger. Now Wrea Head hall isn't just Jess's home, it's the only safe place for her new family to hide. Perfect for fans of Teresa Driscoll, Sue Watson, Jackie Kabler and Kendra Elliot.
