"Doesn't every marriage have a dark side?"--Cover.

"Hannah and Nathan appear to have the perfect marriage. A beautiful Cornish house with heritage, a son, a dog. Every evening, Hannah awaits her husband's return, with a home-cooked meal, soothing conversation and, ultimately, sex. But Nathan controls Hannah's every move - counting her change from her shopping, checking her receipts, the mileage on the car. And Hannah seems happy to let him, being a prisoner in a gilded cage. Because Hannah has a secret. She dreams of someone else, someone who once made her heart sing. But that was a long time ago, before everything went wrong. And ever since that night on the docks, when blood splashed in the rain, Hannah has been paying the price, keeping Nathan happy, keeping the peace... But her past is going to catch up with her. Set against the brutal backdrop of a Cornish fishing port in the 90s, where trips to sea were long and heartbreaking, fraught with danger and horrific accidents, this is devastating exploration of the power of coercive control."--Publisher.
