When a woman’s desire to help those who need it most sparks a dangerous obsession in one man, will she be able to see what’s right in front of her?
She needs to help. He needs her help. It’s that simple … or is it?
Since losing her brother to suicide five years ago, Rachel has thrown herself into her job, supporting men in getting back to work and rebuilding their self-esteem. Men like Peter, an ordinary man, seemingly down on his luck, but hiding a dependency on painkillers and alcohol. Peter mistakes Rachel’s kindness for something more and believes they are destined to be together – even if she needs a little help along the way to realise it.
While Rachel is consumed with helping others, she is blind not only to Peter’s growing infatuation but also to family secrets emerging from the past.
Will Rachel recognise Peter’s obsession before it is too late?
