But as Darcy is settling in, she receives a bunch of flowers with a chilling message.

When single mother Darcy's son falls from a rope bridge at a local playground, life stands still. She clutches his small, limp body, frozen, until a pair of strong hands push her aside, and she watches as George, a local doctor, saves her son's life.

What everyone is saying about Single:
'I would liken reading 'Single' to being strapped into a car with a broken axle on the Tilt-A-Whirl carnival ride. You're gonna get tossed around until you don't know which way is up. Yet, in the end, you can't deny that it was one helluva ride. All superlatives aside, this book stands out in its cleverness and execution. K.L. Slater knocked it out of the park. 5+ stars.' Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Finishing Single has literally left me lost for words. I mean how am I supposed to review this story? It has blown my mind. Seriously, obliterated it. It is mind numbingly brilliant. Honestly, if you want twisted, they don't come more twisted than this.' Goodreads Reviewer, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
