Yellow Son (THAW Series #2) - Lisa Askham

The unidentified body in the ground holds secrets that no-one could imagine.

“Just what had he done? All along she had suspected something e. His dark eyes studied her then flicked away again which didn’t fill her with confidence. What else did he know?”

After an emotional reunion following the turbulent start to their relationship, Marelle Buckleigh realises that Jacob is more important to her than life itself. His secrets are part of him, but he seems to shed them like a new skin with every twist and turn in their relationship. He confesses facts to her which she can hardly believe, which belie the past she thought he had. As she fights through layer after layer of his complex life she worries that the shining beacon she sees within may only be the light from the furnace they are throwing themselves into.

Jacob’s mission to reclaim what he feels is rightfully his takes the sequel to Thaw and his journey with Marelle to new lows and highs. The abandoned airfield, once a missile site during the cold war is now just as intrinsic in her life as it has always been in his and the magnetism of that place shapes their lives.

Truths are twisted, accusations fly, emotions are shattered and his past surfaces again to threaten their future.
