Summary

Netta Phillips is staring down the barrel of her fortieth birthday with months’ worth of negative pregnancy tests behind her, her relationship in the bin and a mortgage she can’t afford. Things really aren’t going to plan.When she unexpectedly finds the childhood diary of notoriously private celebrity musician Morrison ‘Mo’ Maplestone, things get even messier. Mo’s desperate to keep the diary’s dark contents hidden, and he’s willing to pay Netta handsomely to return it to him in London.The financial reward he offers would mean Netta could keep her apartment and try assisted conception treatments; after all, the clock’s ticking. Loudly. But she can’t go. After what happened there twenty years ago, she vowed never to return to the UK. Netta reluctantly accepts Mo’s offer and life quickly becomes even more complicated. There’s paparazzi to contend with, a fake date that feels all too real and a Christmas Day confession that changes everything.Facing up to the past might be the only way to find the real thing. Or maybe something even better.Please be advised that this story contains references to miscarriage.
