Pen Bryant-Olson has the kind of life others envy.
Happily married to the charismatic Tory MP Sir Dietrich Olson, mother to two accomplished children, and a respected university law lecturer, she moves effortlessly between her elegant Central London apartment and Surrey farmhouse. From the outside, everything is flawless.

As long-buried secrets rise to the surface, Pen is forced to question not just her marriage, but the man at the heart of it. Because a perfect life is an illusion when you’ve committed to the wrong husband.
