Publisher's Synopsis

A pupil and a teacher. Is it ever right to break the rules?

Jessica Hart has never forgotten Matthew Landley.

After all, he was her first love when she was fifteen. But he was also ten years older and her school maths teacher. . .

Their forbidden affair ended in scandal with his arrest and imprisonment.

Now, seventeen years later, Matthew returns to Norfolk, with a new identity and a long-term girlfriend and a young daughter, who know nothing of what happened before.

Yet when he runs into Jessica, neither of them can ignore the emotional ties that bind them together.

With so many secrets to keep hidden, how long can Jessica and Matthew avoid the dark mistakes of their past imploding in the present?

This Secret We're Keeping is a powerful and provocative novel about the ties which can keep us together - or tear us apart.
