Julia is a valued and loving wife, a successful mother and a beautiful woman. She is everything most other women strive to be - at least on the surface. Beneath it all is a terrible secret that is threatening to tear her perfect world apart. Her beloved father walked out one day when she was sixteen and never contacted her again. No one will tell her why. Her mother refuses to speak of him, her sister seems to hate him, yet Julia can only remember the man who adored her, until something happened to drive him away. Joshua is Julia's husband - a dynamic, devastatingly handsome man with great style, charisma and humour. He is utterly devoted to his wife and children, but as the ghosts of Julia's past begin to move into their marriage, he finds himself losing the struggle to keep them together. Then two telephone calls change everything. Julia moves from London to a remote mill house in Cornwall, determined to discover the truth about her father and to find a way to break free from the past and save her fractured relationship with Josh. But it is here that she makes her own fatal mistake and once more her marriage is rocked to its very foundation ... The Mill House is a powerful tale of passion and betrayal and a woman's determination to find out the truth about her past, whatever it costs.
