Publisher's summary

My life should be perfect. But my stepdaughter wants to destroy it all…

Standing in my bathroom, the luxurious marble tiles cool under my feet, I stare at the test in my trembling hand. The second line is unmistakable: I’m pregnant.

This is all my husband Theo and I have ever wanted, but I didn’t think it was possible. I should be excited, but all I can think about is telling my stepdaughter.

Because Ellie’s always hated me, ever since she realised it was no longer just her and Theo. Now she’s seventeen, beautiful and smart–smart enough to see through me. And if Ellie decided to uncover my secrets, it wouldn’t be just my marriage at stake… it would be my life.

But I’ve been so careful burying my past. There’s no way she could learn the truth. I know stress isn’t good for the baby, so I force myself to relax.

Until one day I find a packet of tablets tucked inside Ellie’s bag. My head spins–she’s made it clear she wants me gone but I never imagined she would try to harm my baby. I know I can’t tell Theo. She would only deny it to her beloved daddy, fluttering her lashes like she always does.

My beautiful home has become a prison, my husband feels like a stranger. But all I know is that this precious life inside me is more than I deserve–and there’s nothing I won’t do to protect it…

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller! Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Shari Lapena and T.M. Logan.

Fast paced thriller

I listened to the audiobook in one afternoon! I loved the narrator and my interest was held from beginning to end. This book has lots of twists and turns and even more red herrings. This is the second book that I have read by this author and I’ve enjoyed them both thoroughly. Highly recommend!

Domestic thriller at its best, perfect for fans of Gemma Rogers, Diane Saxon, Daniel Hurst, Shalini Boland.

Domestic thriller at its best, perfect for fans of Gemma Rogers, Diane Saxon, Daniel Hurst, Shalini Boland.

Premise: Rowan finally has everything she ever wanted, the perfect life after a dark past. Theo is the perfect husband, her job is lucrative and fulfilling, and now she’s getting the last piece of the puzzle, a late-in-life baby. There’s only one problem: Ellie. Ellie is the stepdaughter from hell - spoiled, entitled, and out to get Rowan. The baby news is the tipping point for Ellie that pushes them out of their tenuous equilibrium, careening into domestic chaos…

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Melanie Crowley, who does an incredible job with the text. This is a one episode listen, in that you absolutely won’t be able to bring yourself to hit pause! It’s sooooo good and I was on the edge of my (proverbial, since audiobooks = getting to do errands simultaneously) seat.

Thanks, Bookouture, for the audio ARC in exchange for an honest review!
