The Escape

Pre-order The Escape, the emotionally charged and unputdownable new novel from Hilary Boyd. Bel Carnegie's life is not perfect. Still recovering from her ex-husband's betrayal, she lives with her narcissistic father in the family flat in Earl's Court. Then one summer, she decides to swap the sweltering city for beautiful Cornwall. While renting a little cottage, she finds that the sea, sunshine, and new friends help heal her damaged heart. But Bel soon learns that you can't run from the past, and it isn't long before it comes knocking once more.
