About this ebook

'WANTED: Live-in companion for sick wife. House rules strictly enforced.'

 

I shouldn’t have ignored the last part of the ad.

 

Caring for the unresponsive wife of celebrity podcaster Colin Harrington could be the best thing to happen to me in years. A place to live. A paycheck. A last chance to resurrect a career as comatose as the woman I'm paid to watch over.

 

I have to make it work. I just have to survive a few months inside the eerie, high-tech halls of the Harrington mansion.

 

But Kara is testing the limits of my sanity. Doors open and close on their own. Shadows shift at the edge of my vision. And I can't shake the feeling that I'm being watched.

 

I wouldn't mind—if I knew it was Colin. He's been through hell, and it's been years since the accident that took his wife from him. Maybe it's time he moved on. Maybe I'm the one who can help him.

 

Then I find a cassette tape—and a voice I was never meant to hear..

 

Someone in this house has a secret they'll do anything to protect.

 

But they're not the only one with something to hide.

 

I have a secret of my own—and I won't be silenced so easily.

 

Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, Verity, and Gone Girl, this fast-paced, darkly addictive thriller is packed with secrets, suspense, and jaw-dropping twists.
