Alice's life is everything but conventional.
Upon the return of Henry, her ex-fiance, a mystery starts unravelling, pulling at the strings of her own heart. The deeper she delves into Henry's investigation, the more she realises that the death of a stranger has everything to do with her.
Henry knows he should keep Alice at a distance - especially after everything she did to him, but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to walk away.
And things tend to get worse before they get better.

He was her life

Four years later he meets the woman who mercilessly broke his heart.
