longlisted for the RNA Romantic Novel of the Year 2009
When sweet-talking Mick Brogan dies, his young wife Cathleen struggles to bring up their daughters in their rented rooms in 1960s North London.

As their friendship develops, Cathleen fears they are growing too close. Hoping that confession will ease her troubled mind, she says the things that can’t be said anywhere else – not realising that she is confessing to the man she loves. When a tragedy forces Cathleen back to Ireland, she must face the truth and accept the consequences of such a forbidden love…

As the boat drifts out of control, suspicion falls on everyone aboard - including Ethelred.
