Two years ago, Gemma Foster faced a series of betrayals. She discovered her husband Simon had been having a long-term affair with a younger woman – Kate Parks. She also discovered Simon had risked their finances for the sake of his property development company.
And then she learnt Kate had fallen pregnant with Simon’s child. Somehow Gemma found the strength to fight back, exposing all Simon’s secrets in the most explosive way possible. Simon and Kate left town. Gemma stayed, with her son Tom.
She’s now running an expanded GP surgery and a settled Tom is moving towards his GCSEs. But how will Gemma react when Simon reappears in Parminster?
