“Surviving had been moving on constantly.
The life after was looking back and realising how long ago I should have run.”
Elle knows her family have secrets.
Some worth killing for.
But when a hidden photograph leads her to a missing person’s case, she knows she has to uncover the truth.
On the run, lost and exhausted, she meets Ben, who sees in her a reflection of his own stubborn independence. Having lost his selfless firefighting dad as a boy, he swore he would never be anybody’s hero.
Yet, as he continues to spend time with Elle, an undeniable curiosity takes hold, and when her past catches up with her, Ben finds himself unable to leave her to struggle alone.
