Late one Saturday night Aaron Tyler has a choice to make, the noise coming from his front door is unusual - nobody has knocked at Sotherby House for nearly 20 years. A recluse for almost half his life, the idea of someone at his door both terrifies and excites him. Denying his natural instinct he decides to open it. What he finds is a barely conscious, beaten and bloodied girl. From that moment on his world is about to become complicated in ways he could not have imagined.
Many questions need answering. How did 15yr old Sophie Thomas end up on the doorstep of Sotherby House?
More importantly - Why?
And what does she want from Aaron Tyler?
