Although a stand alone story, From A Dark Heart is also the third appearance of its central character, Anna, following the acclaimed From A Dark Cell and From A Dark Past.

Now married to Gray Sowerby, Anna has moved to a new luxury home overlooking Poppit Sands and her own business venture is expanding, with a new branch in the offing.

However, she can't completely escape her past and more than one surprise awaits her. Secrets which she must keep from Gray and her daughter Chloé or all their worlds will fall apart.

Seeking new premises in Aberystwyth, Anna meets estate agent principal Margot Thomas, with whom she finds a ready rapport. But will Margot prove to be a good friend or a devious foe. The return of Antoine, thought to be safely back in France, provides the key to that.

Gray, with his building partner Jed Evans, is having his own success beyond the businesses he inherited from his grandfather and Anna now feels assured of her financial future.

So, her own secrets seemingly buried, she can relax and enjoy her elevated place in life. Until a new secret surfaces - coming out of the blue from Gray's past.
