A twist of fate unexpectedly brings a group of travellers together in a terrifying encounter with a highwayman.

Following the independent lives of those involved, intrigue unfolds as unlikely friendships are forged, along with heart-breaking events, wrongdoing, a false marriage and the benevolence of a lonely man searching to create a better life for others.

A rector’s unfortunate predicament, deep secrets and tragedy, create a story of compassion, philanthropy, pioneering reform and love in many guises.

Gail lives in the Cotswolds with her husband of more than forty years and their border collie, Monty. She maintains she is busier now in retirement than ever before and keeps active with exercise, fitting in Pilates, walking and swimming as much as her diary allows. She feels privileged to spend as much time as possible with her grandson and is excited about the impending arrival of grandchild number two. She loves gardening and all things related to interior design, as well as keeping a full social calendar.

Gail and her husband continue to travel world-wide whenever they get the opportunity but admits she is most relaxed and happy when she is in her home environment and can indulge in her writing, drawing her inspiration from the nearby historic and picturesque villages surrounded by beautiful countryside. Gail has in recent years taken to fulfilling her life-long ambition to write novels. This is now her third book of similar genre and never takes for granted the positive feedback she receives from her work.
