Events at a teen summer camp in the Canadian Northwoods turn deadly in this new thriller by the author of Stone Maidens.

At 17, Llewelyn Davies is a sensitive and intelligent adolescent under the care of a wealthy grandmother who took him in after his mother died and his alcoholic father abandoned him. Plagued by anxiety and depression, Llewelyn builds a wall to protect his fragile heart. When his grandmother signs him up for a monthlong wilderness experience to help boost his leadership skills, they both get more than they bargained for. A murder at the camp, tied to a Toronto-based crime family, puts Llewelyn in mortal danger. Fleeing from armed hitmen, Llewelyn and Eloise, a red-headed teen with her own past traumas, battle extreme and dangerous conditions. Tapping into strengths he didn’t know he had, Llewelyn finds his true identity and falls in love, despite the treachery, lies, deceit, and danger surrounding them.

Love on the Perimeter, a romantic crime thriller about coming to terms with the past in order to face your future, makes clear that while a perimeter—a defense against outside forces or unexpected intrusions—is necessary in life, it can be breached by love.
