About this ebook

BRAND NEW FROM SALLY RIGBY AND AMANDA ASHBY

She’ll do anything to protect her family...

From the moment I met Nathan, a widower with two small children, I knew I would do anything for him. Sam and Sienna were both desperate for a mother and I knew I was perfect for them. I would raise them as my own, love them like my own.

I would die for them.

So when a missing teenager is found lying on the side of the road, my first through is for my precious kids. Are they home? Are they safe?

And then I discover something much worse. That the children I’ve raised could somehow be involved...

But I made a promise that I would protect my family at all costs.

Even if the consequences are deadly....

This was a good book for twists and turns... It was told from a few different people's point of view, Libby a paramedic that married a man Nathan and took on his young twins as his 1st wife died in child birth... She has been starting to doubt her own family after an emergency at work where a young woman was held drugged in a lock up... Then there is Gemma Harrington that thinks Libbys husband is the son of a serial child killer that took her younger brother years before and wants answers so she just blew up there lives with theories and because of Libbys past with her own family she just wants this family to work and be nothing like her past... There are alot of surprises at the end and I'm giving it 4 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟📚🤗👍

Libby marries Nathan who has twin children. A young girl goes missing and it points to Sam her stepson. The story line leads you in many directions of individuals that are involved the abduction. Suspicion of her husband and stepson being involved. An ending that was unexpected.

Wow! This is one of those stories that you keep on guessing who the culprit is only to discover you were wrong! A beautifully constructed plot, with relatable characters who very much like many families do not talk much and keep secrets from each other. Secrets erode relationships and instead of protecting they destroy. One also has to bear in mind that not everything is as it seems! Great story, fast-paced, well-written, and highly recommended!
