Hilary Boyd is back in her most gripping novel yet which follows one woman's escape from a life of control to find her own voice again

Bel Carnegie's life is not perfect. Still recovering from her ex-partner's betrayal she moves in with her narcissistic father in the family flat in Earl's Court. But when she learns that her late mother's

run-down cottage in Cornwall has been hers for all these years, she swaps the sweltering city for a summer on the

beautiful Cornish coast. She finds that the sea, sunshine and new friends help heal her damaged heart. But Bel soon learns that you can't run from the past and it isn't long before it comes knocking once more . . .
