"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment." - Amara Norene, wished for freedom - constantly searching for an escape, until she found it - in Dorset Village. Kain Easton had given up. He had given up on escaping his father, given up on his dreams. He didn't believe in escape anymore. Instead, every hour, he would paint. Anything else hidden inside the labyrinth of his heart. Alone. Fate had plans. Amara found more in that village than what she bargained for: a lover, friends, a home. And Kain was finally found. But their story comes to a halt as bodies pile up on the streets of Dorset. Their love hangs by a feeble thread when Kain is forced to find the culprit, pushing Amara away although she wants nothing more than to stay with him. He wants to protect her. She wants to protect him. As darkness looms over the quiet town, the couple may have more to worry about than just their love.
