What Beauty There Is
£8.99
Jack Dahl has nothing left. Nothing except for his younger brother, Matty, who he’d die for. And now Jack faces a stark choice: lose his brother to foster care, or find the drug money that sent his father to prison. He chooses the money. Ava Bardem lives in isolation. She’s learnt from her controlling father that loving someone leads to pain and staying silent keeps you safe. Then she meets Jack and suddenly there’s a glimmer of light through the darkness. But when Ava realises that her father and Jack are stalking the same money, she has to make her own wrenching choice: remain silent, or speak up in order to help the brothers survive against the odds.
A searingly powerful and unputdownable thriller that is The Road meets Winter’s Bone.
‘Beautifully written . . . a chilling footpath of love and loss and keeps you there until you’ve read every last word’ Ruta Sepetys

Jack knew it. So did I.
For seventeen years, Ava’s father has controlled her life. He has silenced her voice and taught her to love no one.
When Jack and I met, did I sense the coming tornado?
As Ava realises her father is on Jack’s trail, she must choose whether to remain silent or fight for the brothers’ survival – and her own chance at freedom.
