Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

Jenna is trying to start again after a string of damaging relationships, determined to build a life that feels safer and more her own. Luke is doing his best to raise his late partner’s young son, carrying grief, responsibility and the weight of a tragedy he cannot undo. When they meet, their connection feels like a second chance. Together, they believe they can create the stability they both crave.

But not everyone is ready to let the past stay buried.

Someone is watching them. Someone shaped by old wounds and unfinished business. As long suppressed memories resurface, love begins to feel fragile and exposed. What started as hope slowly tightens into fear.

Dark, unsettling and emotionally charged, this is a psychological thriller about grief, guilt and the dangerous power of memory. It explores how past harm can harden into obsession, and how the stories we carry can quietly shape our futures. A chilling reminder that some wounds never fade, they wait.
