    About this ebook

    Charlie Thorne has never had a Halloween like this one. On the run from the police after being wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, his only desire is to make it back to the arms of his partner, Ellis.

    He knows the risks. He knows the police will probably be waiting for him. But he can’t help himself. Weeks spent away from his lover mean Charlie is all the more desperate to see Ellis again, and to protest his innocence to the police.

    Little does he know how his decisions will impact both of them, changing their lives forever.

    Why can Ellis never seem to get warm? Why do large chunks of time seem to go missing? Will Charlie’s decision to escape impact their lives forever?
