Livvy is on the run. And she’s escaped to the one place nobody
will ever find her.
But the isolated cottage isn’t empty. Her refuge is home to a troubled stranger, Tom, there for reasons of his own.
In the intimacy of the abandoned cottage, and the remote wilderness of the island, the electrifying connection between them is impossible to ignore. Both running from their histories and shielding dark secrets, their pasts catch up with them and collide in an unimaginable way.
Deep emotions and powerful chemistry face a painful battle with the tangle of lies, and scars of the past. When the truth emerges, hearts will be shattered.
"A captivating, heart-wrenching, beautifully written story about those who scar us and those who help us heal. I could not put it down and am still thinking about it!" - Mia Sheridan, New York Times Bestselling author of Archer’s Voice
"Boyd skillfully navigates the scorching physical desire and personal insecurities of her protagonists, crafting a relationship that is tense, torrid and sure to keep the pages turning." ~ RT Book Reviews

He made me
feel like such a stupid little girl. He had no idea what it was like for me.
None. I wanted to yell at him and slap him, but more than anything, I wanted
him not to disapprove of me, and I couldn’t understand why. I’d never cared
what anyone thought of me before. In fact, I’d gone out of my way to inspire
less than comfortable thoughts in people. It was the way I operated. It was the
way I’d survived the last few years in high school.
I
realized with a start that I’d begun feeling comforted by his presence. We were
building some form of quiet friendship. And the thought that he was disgusted
with me caused shame to burn through my gut. But with that came anger. How dare
he make me feel this way? Who was he to pass judgment on me? And pulling out
what Abby would think had been such a low blow.
I
was pacing back and forth, coming up with the words I would hurl at him to get
even when I’d caught sight of him through the small kitchen window and stopped
dead.
Tom
was ripping his shirt off over his head. He flung it angrily, his bare chest
heaving. Jesus, he was ripped. Picking the ax back up, ribs arching, he swung
it over his head, bringing it down with such force that every muscle and sinew
bulged and flexed with the power of it.
I
sucked in air, realizing I’d been holding my breath. Emotion rolled off him,
the air electrified. Wind I couldn’t feel tossed his hair. It was raw and
almost painful to watch. He was part wild animal and part insanely beautiful
human.
His
body was a blur of motion, and he seemed oblivious to the icy air. A strong
working body. A man’s body, not a boy’s. So much man. No muscle unused.
I’d
been living with this huge, larger than life, virile male for almost two weeks.
Old
fears skittered down my spine.
And
then his chest wasn’t just heaving with breath, his whole body was shuddering
and curling in on itself. His knees folded, hitting the ground so hard, I
winced. His arms wrapped around his middle as if he was trying to hold his body
together. It was at once both shockingly strange and also familiar. I knew the
kind of feeling that made one’s body do that.
Pain.
The
kind of pain that threatened to tear your soul in two.
