this haunting, propulsive, psychologically keen story about class, trauma, and family secrets from "huge literary talent" (Karl Ove Knausgaard) and internationally bestselling author Megan Nolan.

His star seems set to rise when he stumbles across a sensational scoop: a dead child on a London estate, grieving parents beloved across the neighborhood, and the finger of suspicion pointing at one reclusive family of Irish immigrants and "bad apples": the Greens. At their heart sits Carmel: beautiful, otherworldly, broken, and once destined for a future beyond her circumstances until life - and love - got in her way. Crushed by failure and surrounded by disappointment, there's nowhere for her to go and no chance of escape. Now, with the police closing in on a suspect and the tabloids hunting their monster, she must confront the secrets and silences that have trapped her family for so many generationsThe ex files (Ocean View #1)

Now it's his job to convince her to give him a shot without scaring her off. But try after try, he's hitting obstacles in the form of rules she's crafted in order to protect herself. Can he get past her walls and make her see they'd be a perfect match if she'd let herself fall?
