Web of Fear

Six years earlier, sixteen-year-old Leonie Newlyn had been attacked and raped on a late night train as she travelled back from a concert in London. As a result she had borne a child, Katy, whom she adores, but she remains mentally scarred and terrified of men. After Katy starts nursery school, Jordan Gaverne, a man in his mid-fifties offers her a job and later, when he is widowed, security as his wife. By chance Leonie meets Hugh Mawgan, now a solicitor but once the schoolboy she'd had a huge crush on, who makes it clear that he thinks Leonie is making a mistake in marrying Jordan. But then the news she least wants to hear…her attacker is being released from prison. To whom can she turn—platonic fiancé Jordan or the unsettling old flame who is challenging everything in her life?
