Desperate. Destitute. And a broken promise to stay away.

Emma's hidden for six years. She swore she would stay away forever. But what harm could it do to attend her best friend's wedding miles away from danger?

The handsome ex-soldier is the last person she expected to find on the dance floor. And the old chemistry is still there. Just his smile is enough to throw her into confusion. But he knows who she is and the encounter brings an unwelcome reality check.

Emma runs, because he mustn't discover the secret she's keeping.

The journey home to her dismal house is fraught with fear. Even the taxi driver won't venture onto the gang run housing estate. Emma is trapped in a hell of her own making.

She knows her reckoning is coming. She knows he's coming.

This time, she has nowhere left to run. Because the one who helped her last time has abandoned her to her punishment.

Readers say, "This was impossible to put down."
