Two damaged lives and the devastating consequences . . .
Ronnie Sidney is a perfect child. The illegitimate by-product of a wartime romance, he gives his mother unconditional love when all she has known is rejection and contempt. In her eyes he is faultless: a ray of sunshine in the grey of her existence. But as the cracks grow in his facade of youthful charm, a very different character starts to be glimpsed.
For Susan Ramsey, life is easy. Cherished by her parents, she knows nothing of hardship and misery. Until a sudden tragedy thrusts her into a dark and deeply disturbing world.
When Susan and Ronnie meet, the attraction is instant. Each recognises in the other a long-awaited soulmate. At last Ronnie feels able to remove his mask of perfection - with consequences more dreadful than either could possibly have foreseen . . .
With its compelling exploration of psychological power games, complex relationships and emotional violence, 'Apple Of My Eye' is the mesmerising third novel from the bestselling author of 'The Wishing Game' and 'The Puppet Show'.
