  Ronnie Sidney is a perfect child. The illegitimate by-product of a wartime romance, he gives his mother unconditional love when all she has known is loss, rejection and contempt. In her eyes, he is faultless: a glorious ray of sunshine in the grey of her existence. But beneath the golden exterior, a very different nature wages an ever stronger fight for life. For Susan Ramsey, life is easy. Cherished by her parents, she knows nothing of hardship or misery. Until the sudden death of her father - and an introduction to a new and deeply disturbing world. When Susan and Ronnie meet, the attraction is instant. Each recognises the soulmate for whom they have longed. At last Ronnie feels able to remove his mask of perfection. But, like Pandora's Box, what is released can never again be restrained.

  A mesmerising psychological thriller from one of British fiction's fastest rising stars When young lawyer Daniel Latimer meets his beautiful step-sister Christina at the funeral of a family friend, little do either of them realise the momentous chain of events that is about to be unleashed.

But darker currents soon begin to surface - and when Daniel comes to realise that something very unhealthy is developing between father and daughter, he decides to seek help from the two people closest to Christina: her brother and grandmother. But as he begins to explore her past, he comes to realise that Christina is a far more complex and disturbed personality than either he or Robert have realised, and that by trying to manipulate her emotions, Robert is unleashing demons that he will not be able to control...
