***
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.

Notes: This story started as a prompt and some of it's based on personal experience or people that I know. And I've made my own take of Emma for this story to work the way I wanted it to, so if you're looking to read the Emma with extremely high walls, then you'll be disappointed. Not that she's a completely different character, but she's more open to love and everything that comes with it than is usually portrayed.Complete
