About this ebook

Julie is a junior hospital doctor at a dramatic crossroads in life as she realises that both her career and her marriage mean nothing to her. After a year abroad she returns to her family home to put the past behind her and decide on her future. A chance encounter with an old family friend leads to a meeting with Nicholas and the start of a whirlwind, all-consuming romantic affair.

But the past she has attempted to forget insists on being confronted and comes forcefully and seemingly irrevocably between the two lovers. Julie is sent off into a completely different direction as she returns to her old hospital and enters the shadowy world of sickness, suffering and acute heartache.

The young doctor is forced, in more ways than one, to reappraise her past and her future before she can find the rightful place for herself in a world now turned upside down.

Author

Lynette Sofras

A former head of English, Lynette gave up her teaching career a few years ago in order to focus on her writing and thus fulfill her childhood dream. She writes contemporary women's fiction, often involving romance with suspense or a supernatural twist. THE APPLE TREE was first published by Prism Book Groups (formerly Inspired Romance) and was their inaugural Grand Prize Winner in 2011. Her second novel, the romantic suspense, IN LOVING HATE was first published by MuseItUp Publishing the following year. In 2012 she also published two further contemporary romances WISHFUL THINKING and SHOPPING FOR LOVE. Subsequently a slight genre departure saw her penning a romantic thriller KILLING JENNA CRANE, followed by the ghost story/women's fiction UNWORKERS and also co-authoring a short science fiction story SURVEILLANCE. A darker romance with suspense THE NIGHTCLUB followed in 2014. She is currently writing a romantic adventure provisionally titled HANNAH'S HOUSE, due for publication in 2016. Lynette lives with her family in an early Victorian cottage in a picturesque village on the Surrey/London borders. When she’s not writing, she loves catching up with friends and films, going to the theater, reading, gardening and trying to keep the family’s quirky cat out of trouble.
