The Hotel Guest

Haunting, intelligent, atmospheric SAM BLAKE

Her fate was in their hands. Now their future is in hers.

Kit's summer job at the Abbaye de Saint Maurice was supposed to be a clean slate – until she fell in with 'the Olympians', a clique of wealthy young academics staying nearby. Kit, desperate to fit in, was drawn to them like a moth to a flame.

Then came the incident. One night. One choice. One secret too dark to name. Kit fled, and for ten years, she stayed gone.

When an invitation arrives, summoning her back to the Abbaye, Kit returns – not for redemption, but for a reckoning. A former lover is writing a book that threatens to crack open the past, and the Olympians want Kit to silence him. Again.

Will Kit be able to betray the man she once loved for the good of the rest? How far are her old friends willing to go to protect themselves? And, in a place where memory is a weapon and desire cuts deep, who is Kit when the masks come off?
