Ella Ford had been involved in a road accident in which a young woman and her son died.
One year later Ella, an Estate Agent in the property business she and her husband Andrew run, is still suffering from flashbacks to the accident scene. She is being treated for PostTraumatic Stress Disorder but her condition shows no improvement.
Andrew, frustrated by Ella’s depression, embarks on an affair with model Maxine Doran. As Ella passes the first anniversary of her accident, she begins to realise that her flashbacks all focus on the woman, Karen Trevor, who died at the scene. When Ella is asked to handle the sale of Manor House, the Georgian home where Karen grew up, she sees this as an opportunity to overcome her growing obsession with Karen Trevor.
Ella’s condition begins to improve when she attends specialist Dr. Peter Sheehan. But she struggles towards full recovery as her marriage falters and she and Andrew are put under pressure in their business by the thuggish but very successful Jason Laide and the Cox Brothers property developers.
As events unfold, Ella realises that Manor House seems to be at the centre of all the turmoil around her. Coincidence? Fate? These are the questions Ella has to answer before she can find peace of mind and contentment.

Since she had been involved in a car accident a year ago, life had not been the same for Ella Ford. Before the accident Ella had a good life running a successful auctioneering business with her husband Andrew.
Now a year since the accident Ella’s personality has changed. She is still withdrawn and depressed and is haunted by images of Karen Trevor the women who lost her life in the crash with her young son. The inquest had concluded that the accident was not the fault of Ella but she is finding it hard to come to terms with what happened and her husband is losing patience.
When Karen Trevor’s house is put up for sale and Ella is asked to take care of the house sale. She decides that by going to see the house that Karen Trevor lived in this would be her chance to confront her fears so she can start living again, but when villain Jason Laide decides he wants to buy Manor House and is prepared to go to great lengths to get what he wants and when her husband Andrew begins an affair with a supermodel called Maxine. Ella believes that it’s the Manor House that is the cause, affecting her life and the lives of the people closest to her.
Can Ella escape the nightmare her life has become and start living again?
A well written storyline that keeps you intrigued making it a book that you just can’t put down. All the characters are really strong forming a brilliant cast that make this book a five star read.
