The riveting novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
The Liar.
"She stood in the deep, dark woods, breath shallow and cold prickling
over her skin despite the hot, heavy air. She took a step back, then
two, as the urge to run fell over her."
Naomi Bowes lost her innocence the night she followed her father into
the woods. In freeing the girl trapped in the root cellar, Naomi
revealed the horrible extent of her father's crimes and made him
infamous. No matter how close she gets to happiness, she can't outrun
the sins of Thomas David Bowes.
Now a successful photographer living under the name Naomi Carson, she
has found a place that calls to her, a rambling old house in need of
repair, thousands of miles away from everything she's ever known. Naomi
wants to embrace the solitude, but the kindly residents of Sunrise Cove
keep forcing her to open up--especially the determined Xander Keaton.
Naomi can feel her defenses failing, and knows that the connection her
new life offers is something she's always secretly craved. But the sins
of her father can become an obsession, and, as she's learned time and
again, her past is never more than a nightmare away.
