About this ebook
'FIVE STARS! This WAS right up my alley. OMG. This was such a captivating thriller!' Reader review, 5 stars
One little mistake can change everything.
Elise knows better than anyone how quickly things can change. She used to be the great hope of her hometown. A promising young runner who'd make everyone proud at the national championships. But that was before she messed everything up . . .
After what happened, she's got no job, no girlfriend, no prospects. And the whole town hates her - almost as much as she hates herself. But only one person never gave up on her brother, Callum.
Now he's the one who needs her. When he goes missing and the cops have no leads, Elise knows she has to find him herself. But the more she digs into Callum's life, the more she starts to wonder if she really knows her perfect big brother at all.
We all make mistakes. What if this one will cost their family everything?
