About the book
From #1 Bestselling Author of One Step Closer “Alex James Eccleston’s imagination is on a grand scale!” – Stewart Bint How long can the past remain a secret? Everything that happened was Sophie Lawson’s fault. After being dragged on holiday to Tenerife with her alcoholic sister, the last thing Sophie expected was to fall for the man on the neighbouring balcony, Jacob Fawn. The pair instantly hit it off during a late-night chat on the balcony. As Sophie found herself increasingly drawn to Jake, she began to develop feelings for him. There was only one problem: Jake was trapped in a loveless marriage, burdened by a profound secret. The conversations soon turn to what will happen when they return home, and the question looms in Sophie’s mind: how can they continue to see each other? But as the pair return to their lives back in the UK, secrets from both of their pasts reveal themselves, raising the stakes and changing their lives forever... "This is an excellent book. I loved every chapter and all the twists and turns." – Ann Parker

About the author
Alex James Eccleston is a #1 bestselling British thriller and suspense author, best known for North Paradise, Forbidden Shores, and Hey, You. Alex loves to write emotionally charged stories that keep readers on the edge of their seats by combining elements of psychological tension, crime, and sometimes, even a bit of romance. Some of his most recent work includes Nineteen Minutes To Midnight, a teen time travel sci-fi adventure, Alex dives deep into the furthest corners of imagination, uncovering a daring and exciting new side to his storytelling, complete with high-stakes, twists and turns, emotional resonance, and a world unlike any he’s ever created. Beyond the keyboard, Alex brings a uniquely hands-on approach to publishing. As a qualified graphic designer with over ten years of experience in design, animation, and digital art, he creates and designs all of his own book covers from scratch. By day, he works as a professional software engineer, directly transferring his coding expertise to hand-crafting and formatting his own eBooks to guarantee a flawless reading experience for every reader, across every device. Alex knows how to hook you from the first line – and once he does, he doesn’t let go. His characters are messy, flawed, and real, the kind that stay with you long after the final page. His stories twist when you least expect them to, and just when you think you’ve caught your breath, he hits you right in the gut. He’s been obsessed with books for as long as he can remember. Writers like Stephen King, Harlan Coben, Dan Simmons, and James Herbert opened the door – he still remembers the way Pet Sematary and The Rats made his skin crawl. Not just scary, but deeply unsettling in the best way. Those stories didn’t just entertain him; they inspired him, lighting a fresh, creative spark. When he’s not writing, Alex is probably spending time with his family, lost in a book, or scribbling down the next idea that won’t leave him alone. His novels take you on a ride – scary one minute, emotional the next – and once you’re in, there’s no getting off.
