Description

I thought he was the one. But will his secret destroy us?

I was so excited to introduce Darragh to my family. He’s everything I ever dreamed of in a partner, the perfect man for me. Sitting next to me at my parents’ dining table, he answers all my mother’s questions. But I can’t ignore the way he grips his wine glass tightly, his easy smile gone, his warm green eyes somehow cold.

It’s only later that I find out the truth. I thought we were strangers that first night in the crowded little bar, but Darragh knew who I was – he got close to me deliberately.

He says he never meant to hurt me, that he loves me. But then he tells me one last terrible thing. About the tragedy that devastated my family twenty years ago. And a secret that makes me question everything…

All I ever wanted was for him to be honest with me. But if he’s telling the truth, it means that someone is lying to me. But who? My family or the man that I love? And when all is revealed, could the secret he’s been keeping heal the past or destroy everything I have ever known?

Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Amanda Prowse and Diane Chamberlain, The Secret He Keeps is a page-turning and emotional suspense novel about long-buried family secrets and the things we do to protect the ones we love.

I thought he was the one. But will his secret destroy us?
