One night can destroy three people’s lives . . .

Me: I’ve just turned forty. My ex dumped me a year ago — and I’m still not over him. Her: My best friend Maddie has everything I’ve ever wanted. A successful, handsome husband. A designer riverside home. A luxury kitchen that cost three times my salary. And Joe, her sixteen-year-old son. Him: Joe, my strapping, sweet-natured godson, says I’m like his second mum. Sometimes I think I’m closer to him than his real mum. Then, late one night, there’s a hammering at the door. It’s Joe. Visibly upset and angry. He rushes past me before I even get the chance to invite him inside. What he tells me — and what happens next will destroy EVERYTHING.
