Missing Piece by Emma Snow

They told her he was dead. They told her she was safe. They lied.

Martha Coleman lost her childhood the day she was sexually assaulted by the man who was supposed to care for her, the notorious serial killer who came to be known as The Gamesman. Her only solace came from the fact she survived the fire at Beeches Care Home while he perished in the inferno.

It’s been ten years but the memories of those months of sickening abuse have never faded. Martha tried to move on, finding a semblance of peace through her job at Helmsley Castle. But as she works hard to come to terms with the past, she receives a message that suggests not only is the killer still alive, he’s coming after her.

As a storm begins to build around Martha, she finds an unlikely ally in Ben Robertson, loner and gruff heir of the castle, a man she refuses to fall for. Last time she was close to someone, it cost them their life and nearly destroyed her. She can’t let that happen again.

But does she have a choice as a mutual tragedy bonds her to Ben? And what will happen when the Gamesman finally tracks down his missing piece?
