Chloe is mourning the death of her mother, Lesley. But teenage hoodlum Nicky Nelson feels a very different emotion towards her. Lesley was his social worker: the one person he thought he could rely on. Yet before she died, Lesley wrote Nicky a letter that has triggered his deadly rage. Now Nicky is hanging around Chloe’s house. He wants to hate her – and possibly hurt her. But instead, they form a strange bond that could finally help Nicky find his real mum. Secrets. Trust. Danger. You should be be careful who you fall for, and be careful what you do. But sometimes you have to take a risk to save a life.
