Missing You

‘Another exquisite read from Louise Douglas . . . I wanted to lose myself in the narrative… and I did.’ Milly Johnson

Fen is devoted to her young son, Connor, but she keeps herself to herself. Haunted by guilt and a terrible secret, Fen lives isolated from her family, far from home and too afraid of the past to risk becoming close to anyone. She is constantly looking over her shoulder, knowing that one day the truth will catch up with her.

Sean is enjoying a seemingly perfect life. He has a successful career, lives in his dream home and adores his beautiful wife, Belle, and their six-year-old daughter, Amy. That is until the day Belle announces she and wants Sean to move out.

When Fen and Sean meet they are both in need of comfort but slowly their quiet friendship turns into something much deeper. Will they give each other the confidence to trust and love again? Or will the past tear them apart before they find happiness?

Bestselling author Louise Douglas tells an unforgettable tale of family and love. Perfect for fans of Barbara O’Neal, Lucinda Riley and Rachel Hore.
