Waves of Betrayal by Michelle J. Bennett

Twenty-seven-year-old Isabel Marsh is a beautiful, ambitious language teacher in an oversubscribed comprehensive school in Harbury, a bustling Cornish town. She is as deeply devoted to her job as she is to her boyfriend, Paul. Together they rent a charming little cottage in the sleepy village of Cartheston. Isabel is delighted when her best friend, Rachel, excitedly announces her wedding date for the following year. Even though she is truly happy for her friend’s good fortune, Isabel can’t help feeling desperate for her own dreams to be fulfilled. She can’t wait for Paul to get down on one knee and for them to have saved enough money to move out of their cottage and into one of the impressive detached houses, overlooking the craggy cliffs of Connarway Cove.

But suddenly her dreams are shattered when she uncovers a shocking secret, a devastating discovery that nearly costs her her life. In her search for solace, she escapes to the sun-drenched Andalusian coast in Southern Spain, accompanied by Rachel. However, the well-intentioned interference of Isabel’s concerned parents forces her to face a past she had left behind, but had never forgotten. As Isabel finds herself deeper and deeper entangled in waves of betrayal, jealousy and lust, will things go back to the way they were or will her past catch up with her?
