High Infidelity - Pamela Fudge

When a brief affair in Tina Brown’s past resulted in an unplanned pregnancy, the decision was made not to share the news with Calum Stacey.

Tina brought up the child alone, keeping from the Leanne her father’s identity, having decided to provide her with the full facts when she is eighteen years old. With her birthday just months away, Leanne is rushed into hospital with suspected meningitis and Tina feels she has no choice but to contact Calum without delay.

Calum’s engagement to a well-known celebrity makes him newsworthy and, in the face of the mounting speculation surrounding this past involvement, animosity must be put aside as they work together to protect their daughter from the sudden media intrusion.

Widow On The World - Pamela Fudge

‘The fragrance of freshly ground coffee was all around us, and everything seemed just as it should be. That all wasn’t as it should be was becoming increasingly clear. I couldn’t believe the world, as I knew it, was about to fall apart round my ears for the second time in twelve short months. Could life really be that unfair?’

It seemed that it could.

Widowed at 45, Denise has come to the end of that first year alone and survived. She realises it’s time to get back out into the world and live her life. However, life and particularly her own family, it seems, might have other ideas as first her mother and then her daughter move into a house that is suddenly bursting at the seams.

A battle of wills ensues, but it is a battle that Denise is determined to win by fair means or foul, because only when she has sorted everyone else’s lives out can she finally get on with her own.

Romance doesn’t figure anywhere in her calculations, but Denise, of all people, should know that life doesn’t always go according to plan.
