*****

As the champagne flows at a glittering society wedding, one guest isn’t celebrating.

It’s been years since Victoria fell in love with Nick and was welcomed into his circle of privileged friends at university. Then life took a darker turn?

Now old friends are reuniting to toast the ruthlessly well-connected Julian Draper’s marriage to Hollywood darling, Ingrid Olsson. As painful memories resurface, Victoria can’t shake the feeling that some people seem to get away with everything.

But maybe not this time. Maybe this time, someone will pay the ultimate price.

To the outside world Hannah married the perfect man. Behind the closed doors of their imposing home it’s a very different story. Nathan controls everything Hannah does. He chooses her clothes, checks her receipts, and keeps her passport locked away. But why does she let him?

Years before, in the midst of a relentless storm, the tragic events of one night changed everything. And Hannah has been living with the consequences ever since. Keeping Nathan happy. Doing as she’s told.

But the past is about to catch up with them.

Set against the unforgiving backdrop of a Cornish fishing port in the ’90s, this is a devastating exploration of the power of coercive control in a marriage where nothing is quite as it seems?
