Her Calling

When a chance to help Christine sail her boat around the Isle of Wight morphs into a clandestine trip across the Channel, Jamie should have known that something was up. The broken Satnav, the navigating by sextant, then meeting the mysterious boatman angling in the lee of a rocky French islet, who just happened to have a couple of her bags all seemed a bit fishy. Then, a week later, Christine begs for his help one more time. But, when she misses their predawn rendezvous and he is left on the yacht club dock watching the unattended Ventina bobbing silently at her mooring, Jamie is left to piece together the fragments of her secret life-the ski season she never mentioned, the customs-dodging bags, and the truth behind her frantic need to reach the remote Les Casquets. Her Calling is a compelling novel about the secrets we keep, the half-truths and the evasions we accept, proving that sometimes, the person you love can be the greatest mystery of all.
