Publisher's Summary

Sunday Times best-selling author Karen Swan returns with The Secret Path, taking us deep into the heart of the Costa Rican jungle—complete with her trademark romance, glamour and jaw-dropping twists.

An old flame. A new spark.

Love can find you in the most unlikely places.

At only 20, Tara Tremain has everything: she’s a trainee doctor, engaged to the man of her dreams—Alex, a passionate American biology student. But just when life seems perfect, Alex betrays her in the worst way possible.

Ten years later, she’s moved on—with a successful career, good friends and a man who loves her. But when she’s pulled back into her wealthy family’s orbit for a party in the heart of Costa Rica, she’s flung into a crisis: a child is desperately ill and the only treatment is several days’ trek away, deep in the jungle.

There's only one person who can help—but can she trust the man who broke her heart?

Your Costa Rican adventure awaits....

Saving the planet stuff

Tara and Alex, too young, but definitely life partners.
Alex pursues his career, leaving Tara behind and devastated.
They meet up again in Costa Rica, which has always been Tara’s family’s holiday destination.
Alex has saved a large swathe of forest in Costa Rica, over the years.
There is mixed feelings among the natives.
The native medicine men are almost magical in their knowledge and cures.

Time lapse on information was annoying and didn’t really serve a purpose.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
