With a new home and a new job, Victoria Turnbull is excited to get her new life started—but hours after moving in with her boyfriend, her fairytale comes crashing down around her.

With no way out of her dreary reality, she jumps at a chance to start over when her friend Melanie Williams offers a, quite literal, escape. However, paradise quickly turns to hell during a weekend break in Istanbul.

But this is not the first time Vicky has trusted the wrong people. Shamed into silence, can she summon the strength to confront her past, escape her captors and free both herself and Mel before it’s too late?

Packed with raw emotions, emotive backdrops and unexpected twists this fast-paced novella—the fearless prequel to ‘The Three Great Loves of Victoria Turnbull’ trilogy from new writer Isabella Wiles—is a coming-of-age story about the power of friendship and looking for love in all the wrong places.

A perfect read for fans of Jodi Picoult, Jojo Moyes and Colleen Hoover.
