Ten years ago, Amelia was framed for a fire by her adoptive sister Lucy and sent to a remote island prison. Her parents, her brother, and even her fiancé Louis all helped send her away. Now she’s out. Gaunt, scarred, and broken, she returns home—only to find her family celebrating Lucy’s birthday. Lucy smiles sweetly and asks for Amelia’s fiancé as her gift. No one objects. Then a phone call comes: Professor Lucas, who once believed in her art, offers her a new life in Paris. One month. She only has to endure one more month. But will they let her go?
