Rather than wait for him to come crawling back, she seizes the opportunity to escape. </p><p>Emma bolts with her baby on a midnight train to a castle in the Scottish Highlands, as far away from James as possible. A job as a live-in driver for a mysterious marchioness promises safety and the chance to reinvent herself. At first, Emma celebrates her newfound independence; she's landed herself a cozy cottage, a job paid in cash, and proximity to a glamorous employer. However, the castle is no sanctuary, and working for the aristocrat quickly becomes even more chaotic than the life she has just fled. After a threatening note, a suspicious fire, word that James has hired a private detective to track her down, and her employer's increasing instability, she's on high alert. Has Emma steered herself out of danger or driven straight into it? </p><p>Abigail Abbas's debut novel is an emotional and frequently hilarious thrill ride that will have readers cheering for the woman in the driver's seat.</p>
