I hear my son cry out. I rush, half-dressed, to the window and see two men marching up my driveway. They knock my son to the ground. They want the keys to my car.

I phone my husband. 'Susannah, ' Lance says in a voice I don't recognise. 'Hand them the keys. Do not call the police.'

It brings back the wild panic I experienced all those years ago when I discovered I was pregnant after an intense holiday romance. I couldn't tell the father. And I struggled as a single mother.

But when Lance suggested we move in with him and I could finally give my son a proper loving home it was the happiest day of my life.

But our life was built on lies. Not just about money. Everything.

AN EXHILARATING BLEND OF DOMESTIC SUSPENSE AND NAIL-BITING TENSION WITH A SHATTERING FINAL TWIST.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Valerie Keogh, Patricia MacDonald, T.M. Logan and Clare Mackintosh.
