Housekeeping Everyone in the village said nothing good would come of Gabriel's return. And
as Beth looks at the man she loves on trial for murder she can't help thinking they were
right. Beth was seventeen when she first met Gabriel. Over that heady intense summer he
made her think and feel and see differently. She thought it was the start of her great love
story. When Gabriel left to become the person his mother expected him to be she was broken.
It was Frank who picked up the pieces and together they built a home very different from the
one she'd imagined with Gabriel. Watching her husband and son she remembered feeling so sure
that after everything this was the life she was supposed to be leading. But when Gabriel
comes back all Beth's certainty about who she is and what she wants crumbles. Even after ten
years their connection is instant. She knows it's wrong and she knows people could get hurt.
But how can she resist a second chance at first love? A love story with the pulse of a
thriller Broken Country is a heart-pounding novel of impossible choices and devastating
consequences. 'Lyrical brutal and passionate. I devoured it' MIRANDA COWLEY HELLER
