    About this ebook

    London in the early 1960’s and Jack, having recently left school, is sharing a flat with Hugh; an old school chum. In time, Jack meets Lucy and they fall in love. They marry, but despite every attempt to start a family after years of trying, Lucy is unable to conceive.

    Finding refuge in his office in London from the constant despondency at home, Jack meets Anouk; a young French woman on holiday. Mutually attracted they soon fall in love, and after her return to Paris, Jack cannot resist the urge to visit her there over a weekend. When they part Jack is distraught; torn between his passion for Anouk and his love for Lucy. He knows he cannot live a double life; he must make a choice.

    Seven years later Jack’s past catches up with him by a chance meeting...

    This is a story of a man carrying the burden of a discovery he must forever keep secret; a tale of impulsiveness, permissive passion, guilt, and enduring love.
