thriller completely believable. She's a compelling heroine
from a writer to watch.' IRISH TIMES
Nell's family arrives in Norway in financial disgrace. She is
dominated by her family - her religious father and her sister,
whose cancer stops Nell from embracing her dreams of a musical
career.
She doesn't believe in love, either - until she falls for
Lukas.
But Lukas has his own dark agenda, and in this tale of hidden
secrets and shocking twists, he manipulates Nell closer to the point
of no return. How far is she willing to go for love?
