This mesmerising debut novel is part love story, part mystery, telling the captivating story of two lovers torn apart by tragedy and the secrets they kept of one devastating night.
IтАЩm the most authentic version of myself when IтАЩm around Jack. WeтАЩve known each other since we were kids, and our relationship was always one of mudpies and mocking.
Then everything changed.
Beautiful Kate, my best friend, disappeared on a moonlit beach after Jack dumped her for me. Jack was a suspect and, sure of his innocence, I lied to protect him. I know Jack didnтАЩt kill her. Our betrayal did.
Thirteen years later, I am thirty, childless and single, attempting to renovate my life rescuing a rundown workerтАЩs cottage. All is as it should be in my safe little world тАУ until Jack buys the vacant lot behind my house... and the feelings that we buried all those years ago тАУ the guilt, the love and the pain - resurface.
We canтАЩt keep running away from the past тАУ and to move forward we have to know what really happened to Kate.
