The Dilemma

By: Penny Vincenzi

Narrated by: Laura Brattan

When Francesca married millionaire Bard Channing, she knew that he was arrogant and demanding - that was part of the attraction. She knew that taking on the children from his previous marriages wouldn't be easy. Nor would coming second to his business. But it didn't matter, she told herself, because above all she knew that she would do anything for him. Or, at least, she thought she would.

It was only a small lie, Bard said, one that could save his reputation, their marriage, their children, their life. But if there's one lie, how many more might follow or have already been told? And at what cost?

As Francesca is plunged into emotional crisis, she must make some hard choices. She knows that she would do anything for those she loves. The question is, how much does she really love her husband? Enough to do something terribly wrong?

Critic reviews

"Like a glass of champagne: bubbly, moreish, and you don't want it to end." ( Daily Express)

All over the place

Very difficult to follow? The characters seemed disjointed and the storyline did not quite make sense. There did not seem to be a conclusion.
