In that time, she’s achieved a measure of her own success, but is she truly living her life fully? Or has she taken a page from James’ old book, hiding behind work while denying her true needs? This next chapter in James and Amy’s journey will test the couple’s emotions—and control—to the max.

It’s then, during her lowest low, when she meets the one man who could give her the strength to accept the woman she’s meant to be. Controlling The Past It’s been over three decades since James and Sophie North’s parents saw their family savagely torn apart by the cruel actions of one malicious man. Both of them lost a vital piece of themselves that night so long ago. Pete was left a shadow of his former self, having failed to protect his only love.

For even as Pete and Miranda are still reeling from the knowledge of their newfound son, the powerful malevolence of their old enemy is already reaching out to destroy them again…this time from beyond the grave. 5 STARS - Beautifully written story that keeps you gripped from page one and keeps you on your toes.
