Eliza Watts has everything I’ve ever wanted. Three perfect children. A doting husband. A dream home. But she really shouldn’t have hired me. Because I know a secret that could destroy it all…
When Eliza Watts hires me as her assistant, I can’t believe my luck. I steady my nerves as she glances approvingly over the carefully curated lies on my CV. I need this job. She can’t know where I’ve really been these last few years.
It’s funny she doesn’t recognize me. Because we’ve met before. I’ll never forget it. And ever since, I’ve wanted nothing but to be close to her and her perfect family – the one thing I’ve always wanted for myself.
She shouldn’t have been so quick to trust me. Now that I’m in her home, I can see the cracks in her perfect life. A life that her thousands of adoring fans believe is real. But everything she has is built on lies.
When Eliza announces she’s pregnant, her daughter Aubree is shaken. She says she’ll tell me a secret. Eliza has fabricated her entire life, including being a mother. Aubree was stolen from her real mother years ago. And now, Eliza will steal another child to add to her picture-perfect family.
I should be afraid of her. But Eliza doesn’t know that I know an even darker secret that would destroy her perfect life in an instant. And if she finds out why I’m really here, I won’t get out of here alive…
An utterly gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the small hours, flipping the pages until you get to the next heart-stopping twist. Fans of Sue Watson, Freida McFadden and K.L Slater will be gripped from start to finish!
