Two teenagers. One wall. A gap the size of a fifty pence piece.

Killian Riley and Vanessa Callow spent their teenage years in neighbouring flats in Brentwell, connected by nothing more than a gap in the wall. It was enough. Enough to fall in love. Enough to make promises neither of them were old enough to keep.

Then one Boxing Day changed everything. And they lost each other entirely.

Ten years later, Killian owns St-Ink, the most sought after tattoo studio in London. Vanessa is V.E. Callow, the bestselling children’s author whose books have sold millions. Neither has stopped thinking about the other. Not once. Not for a single day.

When they find themselves in the same room for the first time in a decade, everything they buried comes back at once.

But ten years is a long time. And the story they each carried was the wrong one.
