****

I thought I was inviting a friend over for a cup of tea. I had no idea I was opening the door to my worst nightmare.

The moment my husband saw her, it started. The look on his face. The silence that followed, before she hurriedly left. Signs that told me more than words ever could.

Then came the whispers. The whole town watching. Judging.

But it’s not what you think it is. It’s worse.

Because it’s not just my family with everything to lose here. And it’s only a matter of time before one of us does something we’ll regret. . . the question is, who’s going to get hurt first?

Some secrets end a marriage. Some ruin a reputation. Some bring a whole town crashing down.
