About this ebook
"This book was utterly gripping - I couldn't put it down! Just when you think you've got it figured it out - bam, the story hits you with something you didn't see coming!" Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I still can't believe what happened in that Hampton house, with its wraparound porch, Corinthian columns, and unobstructed views of the endless ocean. All I know is, I could never go back there again. Not after everything that happened...
Natalie and her husband decide to escape the city for a much-needed break. After suffering from a terrible accident, Natalie needs some time and space to recover. So when they find a gorgeous rental home on an estate in the Hamptons available at the last minute, it seems too good to be true.
The owner of the estate, Sadie, is beautiful, elegant and wealthy, and Natalie is immediately drawn to her.
But as the women begin to bond, Natalie can't shake the feeling that Sadie is hiding something beneath her polished exterior.
When Natalie discovers that the previous guest disappeared without a trace, dark questions surface: Who exactly is the hostess? What are her secrets? And can Natalie uncover the truth, before it's too late?
