y beautiful daughter. Her hair is shining and her face is lit up with a smile. The man with her looks so happy too. But my mother's instinct is screaming. I know something is terribly, terribly wrong. And I know what I have to do...

I wish I could hold her tight. See if she still wears the same perfume she always wore. But my daughter blames me for her father's death. She won't even talk to me... I just know she isn't really safe with her boyfriend, Garth. I will keep my distance and I will just watch her. For now.

But I tremble with fear when the police knock at her door. Garth has gone missing. And my daughter is accused of his murder.

There's no evidence that I ever hurt anyone... is there? Do the police know about my past - and what I've really been doing?

Only one thing is certain. My beautiful girl is in terrible danger.

But from the man she loves?

From herself?

Or from me?

An absolutely explosive psychological thriller that will have you racing through the pages deep into the night! Fans of Shari Lapena, Freida McFadden and The Perfect Marriage won't be able to put this down.
