Daphne Hollis knew her divorce meant the end of the cruelty she suffered. So she headed to Mousehole, Cornwall, to bury the remains of her old life. She expected salty air and silent afternoons; she didn't expect the infinite, suffocating green of the Cornish woods or the secrets hiding beneath the canopy. ​Her escape takes a sharp turn when she literally crashes into Emmett Primrose. He's powerful, polished, and possesses a gaze that feels like an interrogation. Their first meeting is a disaster of jagged tension and mess, but in a town this small, there is no such thing as a clean break. ​As Daphne is pulled deeper into a world of towering shadows, she realizes the woods aren't just a backdrop-they're a labyrinth. Between the sting of a cigarette and the rush of the unknown, Daphne is about to discover that some rides are more dangerous than the life she left behind.
