Into My Arms

When Skye meets Ben their attraction is instantaneous and intense. Neither of them has ever felt more in synch - or in love - with anyone in their lives. What happens next will tear them both apart. Into My Arms is a searing love story and a gripping family drama - a shocking, haunting novel in the tradition of Jodi Picoult and Caroline Overington.

One day a woman meets a man and falls instantly and irrevocably in love with him. It hits her like a thunderbolt, and she has to have him, has to be with him, regardless of the cost, of the pain of breaking up her existing relationship. It's like that for him too; he wants her in a way he's never wanted anything or anyone before: obsessively, passionately, all-consumingly. What happens next will tear them apart and unleash havoc onto their worlds.

This brave, brilliant, electrifying novel from the acclaimed author of After the Fall and Last Summer, will move you deeply and shock you to your core. Love, lust and longing have rarely wielded such power, nor family secrets triggered such devastation.

‘Into My Arms is no ordinary book. Sure, it has the makings of a good book – excellent writing, well-rounded characters, a great plot and sub-plot – but this book’s subject matter does not follow any formula. In fact, the subject matter is so far from anything I have ever read – or anything I’d thought I would ever read – that I found reading it to be like reading for the first time: swept up in another all-consuming world… It raised a lot of questions and will stir a lot of debate. I guess that’s all I can say apart from “Read it, it’s brilliant.” A definite recommendation.’
