Adam knew what was meant to happen when you met the girl of your dreams: you fall in love, move in together and get married. But it didn’t quite go to plan. No one was more surprised than he was when he proposed to Sarah and she broke up with him forty-eight hours later without any explanation. No break up is easy, but it’s even worse when you have to still live together for the next six months. But what Adam doesn’t know is that Sarah has a secret – and she’s willing to sacrifice anything, even losing him, to keep it.
When he finds her diaries, he’s desperate to read them to discover why she seems just as heartbroken about her decision as he is. But is he willing to betray her trust? And can he handle the revelations that come with it? Moving between the diaries documenting Sarah's youth and the problems that still haunt her present, TOGETHER APART shows what happens when your past catches you up. Can you guess her secret? Can Adam ever know the real Sarah? And if he does, will their relationship stand the test of her history?

After a soul-destroying breakup with her ex, Smith, Effie Abbott has met the man of her dreams. She’s had the whirlwind romance and the fairy-tale wedding to the charming and suave Oliver Barton-Cole, and life seems firmly back on track.

Things were never simple between Smith and Effie, so when he forces his way back into her life, Effie knows he’s a complication she doesn’t want or need. After all, she has Oliver, a man who loves her better than Smith ever did.

But when cracks in her marriage begin to emerge and Oliver shows flashes of a darker side, Effie has to question just how well she really knows her husband, and whether Smith is back to derail her seemingly perfect marriage or save her from it.
