He knew she had suffered at the hands of men- Tim Hannigan, her 'father' was a vicious bully; John Herrington, a smooth-talking seducer, had left her with his child.\n\nBut Rodney Prince's desire for a family had been frozen out by a wife who'd wanted Harley Street, not a Tyneside slum.  By contrast, Kate glowed with a warmth that far outshone the hard, brittle beauty of Stella, and exposed the emptiness in his heart.\n\nAnd so, between Rodney Prince, a wealthy man locked in an unhappy marriage, and Kate Hannigan, a bastard child of the slums, grew a love that opposed all the concepts of an Edwardian society...\n\nTHE LONG CORRIDOR\nTo outsiders, Dr Paul Higgin's life appeared to be happy and contented.  Everyone had a good word for him, and his home life appeared to be ideal.  At thirty-six, Bett Higgins could still pass for a much younger woman, not just in looks but in the way she loved the company of people half her age.  A grand couple, some might say...\n\nBut once the surgery was closed and the curtains drawn, the fa ade that Paul and Bett Higgins presented to the world concealed a welter of hate that had grown worse with the passing years.  Between them stood the barrier of the past - of secrets that, were they known, could affect everyone around them.  Unable to forgive each other, they led their separate lives - until Bett decided to allow her spite and resentment to culminate in revenge on the husband she did not love...","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48292878352603,"sku":"9780552147026-SECONDHAND","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/0c3ea32d-f11b-4ebd-ad65-5252ce4be69d.jpg?v=1771739243","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780552147026-secondhand-kate-hannigan-the-long-corridor","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
