Description
Book Synopsis
I've always had the urge to look after other people's children. To pour care and love into their lives, because I know what happens when you don't. There are terrible people out there, who have been neglected and hurt and want to see the world burn. You don't want people like that in your home...
I look up at the beautiful woman with perfectly painted red lipstick standing on the front steps of her grand Victorian house. Harper already trusts me to take care of her two little girls: believes the lies I've told her about where I come from and how many other mothers have welcomed me into their homes. Then I see the familiar form of her husband. My ex. The man who knows where my own missing baby boy is.
I know Troy will never admit to knowing who I really am. Not after what he did to me. But I still expect to see shock and recognition in his cool blue eyes when he meets me: the woman his wife has employed to care for their children. But he simply smiles. He welcomes me into his home.
I'm determined to get the truth out of Troy. But soon I realize I made a terrible mistake in coming here. Someone has been in my room. And the gun I hid under my mattress is missing.
Troy thinks he can scare me away. But if he won't tell me where my son is, he has no idea how far I'll go to get revenge...
A deliciously addictive and heart-pounding thriller. Readers of The Housemaid, The Marriage and Gone Girl will be shocked by the endless twists in this unputdownable page-turner.
