A dark past. A fresh start. A new nightmare waiting to begin.
Willow McAllister is desperate to start over. Quiet town. Blank slate. No attachments. When she meets her friendly new neighbour, Priya, it feels like a lifeline: the start of something good.
And then there's Gabe: charming, funny, easy to talk to. Maybe she's allowed a little happiness. Maybe she can trust again.
But Willow's instincts have been wrong before. And when she discovers that Gabe and Priya share a past, the cracks start to show. Willow can't help wondering if Priya's arrival next door really was by chance. Because coincidences like this? They don't feel like coincidences at all.
Is she imagining the tension between them? Or ignoring something she shouldn't?
Someone is lying.
And Willow can't afford to get it wrong again.
