Who She Was




The mysterious stranger is perfect. But nobody knows who she is. And nobody can imagine the terrible things she has done to survive.

A bonfire burns on a Cornish beach in the middle of the night.

Nearby, a young woman waits for morning, and for the estate agent to arrive with the keys to her new life in the peaceful fishing village.

She carries with her no trace of the past she has left behind.

Quickly she becomes an object of fascination among the locals; one in particular finds that he just can't stay away.

But can anyone really have start afresh?
What happened to this woman's old life?
And what price did she pay to escape it?
