A hot beach. A young family on holiday. A fatal moment of inattention... And now Dave Jepsom is in their lives. Dave Jepsom, with his muscles, his pale eyes, his expressionless face. He saved their child. How can they ever repay him? Especially as what he seems to want in return is everything. He saved your son's life. Does that mean you have to give him yours? It starts with a holiday. A three-year-old boy on a beach, and the hero who saves his life. But nothing is ever that simple. Tessa and Marcus know they owe Dave Jepsom more than they can ever repay. Yet even as he is walking from the sea with their son in his arms, there is something about him that makes them uneasy. He is not like other people that they know. Being with him makes them confront truths about themselves they would rather not see. The shock of that moment will change everything. And it's not how things start that matter. But how they end . . .
