Deep Dark Secrets

An island full of secrets. A woman on the run. What should she fear most? The man she is fleeing, or what awaits her on Purity Island?

I left my home, Purity Island, eighteen years ago when my best friend Lizzie Kent took my babysitting shift and never came home. She was murdered, and I have lived with the guilt ever since.

But now in a weird twist of fate, I return, hoping for a fresh start after inheriting my aunt’s crumbling guesthouse, eager to escape a bad relationship. I should’ve known the past wouldn’t let me go.

Sam Kent hasn’t forgotten me. Lizzie was his sister, and he blames me for her death.

His hatred cuts deep, but it’s not just Sam I need to fear. Strange things have been happening, things that feel like warnings. Someone doesn’t want me here.

Is it Sam, still consumed by grief?
Or has my violent ex found me at last?
Or is there someone else hiding in the shadows who has a more sinister agenda?
