Time with Mr. Silver by Elle Nicoll

“Whoever said time heals… lied.
And the man I’m stuck working for might be the biggest liar of them all.”
After my actions wreck my family they send me to England, hoping the space will enable me to forgive myself and embrace life again.
But the man I start working for is far from a savior.
Dax Silver, head of the UK’s largest gin distillery, is as captivating as he is intense, his skin covered in ink, his eyes stained with secrets.
I can tell by the condescending way he calls me ‘Sunbeam’ that he wants me to keep my distance.
A warning.
Because I’m not the only one who’s become accustomed to living in the shadows.
And as much as he tries to hide it, I see him.
His tattoos may cover his external scars.
But it’s his internal ones I recognize—ugly and poisonous, like mine.
It’s like looking at a reflection—and neither side can exist without the other.
Maybe this is where I’m destined to be—a salvation.
Or maybe it’s all an illusion, a trick of the light.
Only time with Mr. Silver will reveal the truth.
