The Burden Of Their Choices

by Hayley Furmage

Haunted by the murder of his best friend, Danny flees to Southampton, hoping to outrun the past. Hardened by grief and distrust, he drifts through life, pushing others away before they get too close.

Pippa is no stranger to pain. Trapped in the emotional fallout of her sister Yazmin’s manipulations and still reeling from the mysterious disappearance of her first love, she’s fighting to rebuild her life on unsteady ground.

When Danny and Pippa’s paths cross, an unexpected connection begins to form, fragile but fiercely needed. Yet just as they start to believe in something real, Yazmin’s jealousy threatens to destroy it.
As secrets unravel, Pippa confides in Danny about her past—unaware he holds a devastating truth of his own. And when Yazmin’s obsession turns dangerous, her search for answers risks exposing everything Danny hoped to bury.

With their safety and their future on the line, Danny and Pippa must face the ghosts of their pasts before they lose each other forever.
