All Rose has ever wanted to do is help people. That’s why she made a promise at her best friend’s funeral that she’s determined to keep. After all, it was her fault Juliet took her own life. Wracked with guilt, Rose vowed she’d help Juliet’s ten-year-old daughter, Eloise, if she ever found herself in trouble. Since then, Rose has lived her quiet, ordered life never thinking that one day she might have to keep her word. Until the night Eloise turns up on the doorstep with her boyfriend’s body in the back of her car - and asks Rose to help her hide it. Eloise never meant to hurt Theo, but after months of his controlling behaviour something inside her snapped. The last thing Rose needs is to become an accessory to murder. She would rather shut the door and forget all about Eloise and Theo. But even after all this time, a promise is still a promise…
