Description
Amy escapes her violent boyfriend with a job at Woodbrook Primary School, the place of traumatic memories that still plague her twenty years on.
Secretly ashamed of her loser reputation, Amy hides her ex-pupil status from the staff, even pretending that she has never met Joel, the once-cherished teacher who unexpectedly becomes her colleague.
Under the guise of a confident woman, Amy is determined to eclipse her troubled past. But when she hooks Joel into a deep and passionate relationship, the fear of bursting his bubble with her true identity pushes her ever closer to being exposed.

Not my usual genre (thriller), but I was really excited by Emma’s debut novel. She did not disappoint. Her writing flows beautifully and she has a strong way with description. A warm read for a winter’s afternoon if you want something that will delight the senses. Thank you Emma. Will look forward to more of the same.
