Sleigh bells ring. Snow is glistening. A body's in the trunk – did you kill him?

Ella Chambers didn’t kill Liam Montgomery.

If she had, she wouldn’t have done it outside his family’s mansion during their Christmas party. She wouldn’t have loaded his body into the trunk of her car. And she absolutely would not have announced that the boy who ruined her life was ‘dead to her’.

But Liam is missing – and Ella is the only person who knows he’s still alive.

Liam Montgomery didn’t want to die.

But when you’re a billionaire’s heir, someone might have other ideas. Now they’re both hunting for answers – and as the storm of the century blows in, every step brings these childhood rivals closer to a killer – and each other.

This Christmas, only one thing is certain: it’s beginning to look a lot like murder.
