Synopsis

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan's Tale, a breathtaking and thrilling follow-up to Almost Home—ten years after the tragedy that forever changed her life, Jordan Weiss uncovers a betrayal that leaves her reeling and sets her off on a journey searching for answers.

Ten years ago, U.S. State Department intelligence officer Jordan Weiss’s life was turned upside down when she was told her college boyfriend, Jared, drowned in the River Cam. In a shocking discovery, though, she realizes that things weren’t as they seemed and that she had been lied to and betrayed by those closest to her. Reeling from the shock—and the knowledge that Jared is still alive—Jordan resigns her State Department post and sets off in search of answers. Traveling to Jared’s last known whereabouts on the French Riviera, she encounters Nicole, a mysterious woman who flees after refusing to disclose what she knows about Jared.

Following Nicole across Europe, Jordan soon discovers that she is not alone in her pursuit—Aaron, a handsome and enigmatic Israeli, is chasing Nicole for his own cryptic reasons. Though distrustful of each other, Jordan and Aaron join forces on a journey that takes them half a world away, and only steps ahead of grave peril.

As Jordan draws closer to finding the answers that have eluded her for a decade, larger questions remain: Can she reconcile her attraction to Aaron with her unresolved feelings for Jared, the only man she ever loved? Will the truth be too devastating to handle or finally set her free?

Will she have a chance at happiness at last? Thrilling, romantic, and impossible to put down, A Hidden Affair gives us a brave and relentless heroine who never gives up on her search for the truth.

Goodreads review by Bookchick on April 01, 2011

It would have been helpful if the book jacket indicated that this was a sequel. The plot had a lot of holes in it, but most disappointing was that the main character simply was not convincing. She seemed entirely too naive and emotionally needy to be a successful intelligence officer. I wanted to like......more

I have a love/hate relationship with this author. I either love her books or hate them. Mostly because the storylines seem so familiar in each book I have picked up. So, each time one of her books come along, I have a sigh, should I read it, or will I be disappointed? Every time one of her books is......more

As she says in her acknowledgement, her first novel is about Jordan coming to terms with her past, A HIDDEN AFFAIR is where she meets Aaron, and is the other half of the story, the future. I enjoy Jenoff's descripti......more
