“"If this is the boy you've been talking about, and he's Ryan's son, You can't marry him, Sonia. You absolutely can't!!!!" My mum said, as tears rolled out of her eyes. "And why's that?" I asked, feeling the blood drain from my head. "Because he's your brother!!!!" Sonia and Ben, deeply in love and engaged, are torn apart when they discover they are allegedly step-siblings due to an affair between their parents. Sonia, pregnant and heartbroken, flees to Scotland, feeling unable to keep the child due to the perceived familial relationship. Years apart, they eventually uncover another truth, which could have either reconciled them or broken them forever.”
