Everyone in the village said nothing good would come of Gabriel's return. And as Beth looks at the man she loves on trial for murder, she can't help thinking they were right.
Beth was seventeen when she first met Gabriel. Over that heady, intense summer, he made her think and feel and see differently. She thought it was the start of her great love story. When Gabriel left to become the person his mother expected him to be, she was broken.
It was Frank who picked up the pieces and together they built a home very different from the one she'd imagined with Gabriel. Watching her husband and son, she remembered feeling so sure that, after everything, this was the life she was supposed to be leading.
But when Gabriel comes back, all Beth's certainty about who she is and what she wants crumbles. Even after ten years, their connection is instant. She knows it's wrong and she knows people could get hurt. But how can she resist a second chance at first love?
A love story with the pulse of a thriller, Broken Country is a heart-pounding novel of impossible choices and devastating consequences.

Definitely Worth a Read
Couldn't help feeling for all characters. Sad with a twist. Narator had a very easy listening voice. Once I got into it I couldn't put it down.

Heartfelt tearjerker
Could sense where it was going early on. If romance is your thing this will appeal. Well narrated, good story, poignant.

Captivatingly written and read
A beautiful heart wrenching story that I could not stop thinking about all the way through. The soccer punch ending and the final tear filled pages made this a book I’ll remember for a long time.
