shocking thriller that grabs at your emotions on every page! Loved
it.' bestselling author Lauren North The day my path crossed with

ran me off the road with his flash car and belittling jibes. The

wrong... I hadn't realised that Simon Fox was not a man to be
messed with. He showed me just how much I still had left to lose.
