From the Inside Flap:
After a blazing row with her lover, Dev, Emily abruptly decides to escape to Orchards, the childhood home she's recently inherited. But instead of finding a secure haven of peace and nostalgia, Emily walks into a lethal trap of tangled relationships.
She finds - lying drunk on her bedroom floor - a beautiful, teenaged girl. Reckless, alienated and scared, Clea is the daughter of a prominent local businessman. And she has been using Orchards as a trysting place for her illicit affa ir with a married man.
Despite her irritation, Emily is drawn to Clea, whose tragic childhood so mirrors her owo. And she is also powerfully attracted to Clea's cousin, a man who exudes a dangerous sexual magnetism that bewitches every woman who goes near him.
Into this atmosphere of menace and mystery walks Dev- with good timing because Clea has suddenly disappeared. And because Emily has just discovered that there's a dead body hidden in her basement freezer ...
Bit by bit, Emily and Dev must untangle a complex web of explosive emotions - the ir own included. Together they begin to uncover a network of new passions, old wounds and desperate circumstances.

It happens all at once, with the instant flash of long expected catastrophe. Something trips my foot. I pitch forward, scrambling to stay vertical, the dying match singeing my fingers as it flies from my hand. Pain stabs my upper arm as it bashes against a jut of unforgiving metal. And suddenly, I am tackled by a monster, shapeless, enormous, cold as death. Its crushing weight drops me flat, smashes my face against the stone floor. For a second the thing doesn't move ... It won't, of course. I know by now it is dead.
