BLURB:
He’s guarding a dark secret, but so is she.
Lizzie Burdett was eighteen when she vanished, and Noah Carruso has never forgotten her. She was his first crush, his unrequited love. She was also his brother’s girlfriend.
Tom Carruso hasn’t been home in over a decade. He left soon after Lizzie disappeared, under a darkening cloud of suspicion, and now he’s back for the inquest into Lizzie’s death – intent on telling his side of the story.
As the inquest looms, Noah meets Alice Pryce on holiday. They fall for each other fast and hard, but Noah can’t bear to tell Alice his deepest fears. And Alice is equally stricken – she carries a terrible secret of her own.
Is the truth worth telling if it will destroy everything?

BUY LINK:
This is my first book by the author and I have to say that I was rather hooked on the characters as well as the storyline.
Even though the blurb gives us a hint at what the story will hold, needless to say the suspense, the building relationship between Noah and Alice and the secrets they hide are not for the faint of heart.
I thought Noah contained himself rather well despite the way his family was as well as his obligations to them but meeting Alice on holiday does help him see that there are bright sides to life and that he does deserve some happiness.
I rather liked the way both Noah and Alice were in Thailand, uninhibited and free but when they return home things are not what they appear to be. Struggles and the ability to maintain their relationship will be difficult but also give a level of support they both really need to each other.
I was shocked at certain parts and really wondered what will happen.
I really enjoyed this suspenseful thriller but also the genuine friendship they build.
