Summary

When Isabel’s god-daughter, Emily, turns up after years of no contact and in need of help, she feels duty-bound to take her under her wing. To her surprise, Emily is determined to be independent and takes a job as nanny. Emily’s charge turns out to be the illegitimate child of the naive daughter of a well-to-do couple and a ne’er-do-well conman who disappeared before the baby was born. And now he is back, intent on exploiting his parental status in return for cash.

Before she knows it…

Yorke has an extraordinary feel for the passions that lurk beneath unremarkable facades - Sunday Times
