What to expect
A fresh start
A dangerous obsession
And a past that won’t stay buried
Jade’s new life in Spain is unravelling. Broke, scared and haunted by the past, she is forced to rent out her apartment.
Her tenant is living the life she always dreamed of. Not a care in the world, lounging on the balcony, watching the world go by.
But who is Gabby Rackham? An aspiring artist, her appearance definitely makes you take a second glance. But she is also a woman who asks too many questions.
The more Jade watches her, the less sense it makes. Gabby doesn’t work, doesn’t seem to have any friends. So why is Marcus – Jade’s handsome yet ruthless work rival – so drawn to her?
As jealousy builds and the past edges closer, Jade’s obsession deepens. But Gabby isn’t just a mystery. She might be the key to everything Jade is trying to escape.
SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT JADE DID IN MARBELLA
AND THEY’RE AFTER HER
