Carly had thought they’d always live there. The beautiful Cornish cliffside house they’d taken on as a wreck, that Mark had obsessively redesigned and renovated - a project that had made him famous. It was where they’d raised their children, where they’d sat cozily on the sofa, watching storms raging over the sea below. It was where they’d promised to keep each other’s secrets. Until now. Because Mark has fallen in love. With someone he definitely shouldn’t have. Someone who isn’t Carly. And suddenly their family home doesn’t feel like so much of a safe haven.

Hannah has done everything to make sure her life is safe and secure.

He’s irresistibly handsome. He loves the same music as her. The same food as well.

Kat remembers the days when her only daughter Amy wouldn't leave her side. But now Amy is grown up and gone - to university in a town several hours away.

But one day Amy doesn’t call. Kat’s husband and friends think she is being paranoid. But Kat knows right away that something is very wrong.

Lucy has a kind and adoring husband, a job she loves as a teacher, and a house on Mulberry Avenue with floaty curtains and the softest bed linen.

Even if Amber’s life - with her high-profile job and handsome, wealthy boyfriend - is more glamorous than Lucy’s, they share a down-to-earth sense of humor. But then Amber starts to hint that her life isn’t all it seems....

Marianne has a life others dream of. A beautiful townhouse on the best street in the neighbourhood. Three bright children who are her pride and joy. Sometimes her past still hurts: losing her mother early, growing up in foster care. But her husband, Simon, is always there. A successful surgeon, he’s the envy of every woman they’ve ever met. Flowers, gifts, trips to France: nothing is too good for his family. Then Simon says another woman’s name. The way he lingers on it, Caroline, gives Marianne a shudder of suspicion, but she knows it’s nothing - she can’t entertain this flash of paranoia.

Since Faye met her gorgeous Aussie boyfriend Dan, they’ve traveled all over the world to meet in amazing, crazy, and romantic locations. They’ve eaten gateaux in a chateau, chocolate torte in a moonlit port, and even had stolen kisses in a sparkling Christmas market. Neither of them wanted to settle down… until now. When Dan asks Faye to marry him and to move to Australia it throws a real spanner in the works. Faye’s daughter Emma needs her here, so moving to the other side of the world - even for a hunk like Dan - simply isn’t an option. Is it?

Marianne ha la vita che ha sempre sognato. Una bellissima casa, affacciata sulla strada più esclusiva del quartiere. Tre splendidi bambini, che sono il suo orgoglio e una fonte inesauribile di gioia. A volte soffre ancora per il suo passato: i ricordi vaghi della madre, morta quando lei era ancora piccola, i giorni trascorsi in affidamento... Ma Simon, suo marito, è sempre accanto a lei. È un chirurgo di successo ed è il miglior marito che una donna possa desiderare. Fiori, regali, viaggi. Non c’è niente che non sia disposto a fare per lei.

An Liebe denkt Sophie nicht, als sie einen Job als Dozentin an der Universität in Sizilien annimmt. Bis sie dem charismatischen Professor Emilio Ferrante begegnet.

Doch je tiefer sie sich in die Beziehung mit Emilio begibt, desto mehr spürt sie, dass etwas nicht stimmt.

Now, on what would have been her fortieth birthday, her five university housemates are invited to a weekend gathering. None of them want to go. But none of them can refuse—the invitation makes it clear that if they don’t attend, the past they’ve spent two decades hiding will finally come to light.

Jetzt ist er ein Teenager und trifft seine eigenen Entscheidungen.

Und auch ich war nicht immer ehrlich zu dir … Ich: Als wir auf unser neues Traumhaus anstoßen, gebe ich mir ein Versprechen: Ich werde alles über Toms Vergangenheit vergessen. Für unseren Sohn.

Sophie wasn’t expecting to find love in Sicily. But then she sees him: Emilio, a professor who works at the university where she is teaching for the summer.

And when she senses a shadowy character following her, watching her every move, Sophie starts to question her grip on reality. Is she being paranoid, or is nothing about her new life really what it seems?

Wife: I couldn’t be prouder of my charming husband and quiet and kind son. I’ve poured everything into my little family, so I choose to ignore my husband’s late-night phone calls and wandering eye. I won’t let anything ruin my perfect life…
