Money, love and family. Which matters most? When Diane Jenner's husband is hurt in a helicopter crash, she discovers a secret that changes her life. And it's all about money, the kind of money the Jenners have never had. James North has money, and he knows it doesn't buy happiness. He's been a rock for his wayward wife and troubled daughter - but that doesn't stop him wanting Diane. James and Diane have something in common: they always put family first. Which means that what happens in the back of James's Mercedes is a really, really bad idea. Or is it?

Review
~A wronged woman whose nearest and dearest has been keeping a whole other life secret from her. The reasons why unfold intriguingly with every chapter as we meet the cast of characters he has kept hidden - one of whom inspires Diane to alight upon her own voyage of self-discovery, fuelled by her new found spirit of independence and a serious tug on her heartstrings. Well worth a day spent under the covers with a box of chocolates!~ --Your Choice Magazine
~It's a great story. You'll love the people. I could have quite fallen for James myself if it wasn't for the fact that I'm already spoken for and it was lovely to see Diane grow into herself, become a successful business woman and give Gareth exactly what he deserved. Diane has just the one child, Bryony, but James has three daughters with the youngest being rather frail and it was good to see how their lives developed as a result of what happened. Despite having some very sad moments it's a heart-warming and uplifting story ad one that will have you cheering out loud if you're not very careful. Definitely recommended. --The Bookbag

(What's this?)
I've given this book a 5 star scoring not because it's the best of literary fiction or because it's one of the best books I've ever read, but it's certainly one of the best chic-lit books I've read. We all know what chic-lit is - it's fun, frivolous, witty, fast paced with a cringe or two and a happy ending. This book has all those essentials with the added bonus of a great original story. Most stories of this type have a lead character who suffers from low self esteem or some other major weakness to build her up for a strong ending but this one has a fairly ordinary, average housewife who is strong willed and is quite capable of taking care of herself - it makes a refreshing change. The characters are likeable and realistic and there's just the right amount of naughtiness and mischief to keep you reading along at a good pace.
If you like chic-lit or a humorous light read then you can't do better than this book by Sue Moorcroft.

"Want to Know a Secret" is one of those books you simply can't put down. I took it with me to while away the time before a doctor's appointment and when I got home, I just carried on until I'd finished. I was hooked from the very first page and forgot everything else I had to do that day - there was no way I was going to stop reading until I'd reached the end! The book is about greed, revenge and secrets, and how people cope when their previously well-ordered lives are suddenly turned upside down. It was brilliant and I loved both James and Diane (the hero and heroine) and was on the edge of my seat waiting to see whether the nasty, manipulative Gareth would get his comeuppance. Loved all the other characters too, especially George - wow, what a great boy! I wanted to hug him for being so wonderful to his girlfriend. All in all, a fantastic read - I highly recommend it!

I had all good intentions of getting lots of work done but it wasn't to be. Started reading this book over breakfast before sitting down to work and couldn't put it down! I loved this book.
The characters have real depth, the writing is excellent and there is always a twist to drive the narrative on.
Honestly, don't pick it up if you've got something that needs doing, but what a treat reading this book was.
