Hush Hush
by Mullarkey, Gabrielle
Widowed a year ago, thirtysomething Angela has retreated into her shell,
reluctant to dip a toe back in the job market – let alone the dating
game. Between them, her bossy mum and her best friend gently nudge
Angela back to life, persuading her to find a job and even try a solo
holiday – which ends with a luggage mix-up and an encounter with a
rugged Irishman called Conor.
Back home, Angela resolves to take her new romance slowly, particularly
as Conor’s (non-holiday) baggage includes the original ‘child from hell’
and a temperamental ex-wife with Pre-Raphaelite hair. Since Angela’s
never liked winging it, is a future with Conor too uncertain to
contemplate?
But as she’s about to discover, her old life was far less secure than
she thought. And the past won’t let go until she confronts its
long-buried secret.
