    About this ebook

    Meet Susan Masters—knick-named the Ice Maiden by her work colleagues—and her elderly, complacent husband, her unambitious son, her misogynist boss and her quarrelling parents. Long set in her ways, Susan's life seems unlikely to change until she discovers that she has a half-brother called Michael. 

     

    At first she is shocked and angry, but then as she gets used to this revelation many things in her past begin to make sense. Susan's childhood had been full of secrets—'Don't tell anyone,' was her mother's favourite phrase. Now the secret her parents had been keeping from her all her life is about to change everything.

     

    What should she do now? Instinctively she feels she can't tell anyone about him, not her husband nor her son. But nevertheless she needs to find this man. The desire to know more about Michael becomes an obsession and she soon finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies and deceit as she tries to track him down without her family knowing.

     

    When she and Michael finally meet, Susan is faced with a dilemma—she can walk away and forget about him or she can tell her family and face the consequences.
