Allison - McKay, Vanessa

Résumé :
After breaking up with her controlling childhood sweetheart Gavin, Allison Jones is finally free to pursue her singing dreams and live life on her own terms. But her fresh start is violently shattered when her housemate's friend, Scott Clarke, commits an unthinkable crime that leaves her broken and afraid. Desperate to reclaim her identity, Ally embarks on a journey of healing-first finding refuge with her ex, then accepting a position as a cruise ship performer that takes her far from Australian shores. While sailing toward new horizons, she meets Robert, whose sandy hair and ocean-green eyes match a psychic's promising prediction about her true love. Just as Ally begins to heal and dares to open her heart again, Scott Clarke resurfaces with deadly intent. With her life in danger and those she loves at risk, Ally must find the courage to face her tormentor once and for all-or lose everything she's fought to rebuild. A gripping story of survival, second chances, and the transformative power of love that proves even our darkest moments can lead to the brightest new beginnings....
