About this ebook
'WOW! What an incredible story! Shocking twist is an understatement!' Reader review, 5*
She thought she could leave her past behind. She was wrong. . .
Nadia Morgan has everything she ever dreamed of. A stunning converted farmhouse in the Cornish countryside. Three wonderful children. A loving husband.
But she also has a dark secret. Something terrible happened twenty years ago. Something that she's spent twenty years trying to forget.
Now someone is threatening her family - and threatening to tear down the life she built for herself.
The past is finally catching up to her, and Nadia feels like she's losing her sanity.
She can never leave behind the girl she was, but she will do anything to keep her family safe.
An utterly gripping psychological thriller perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, C.L. Taylor, Claire Douglas, Karin Slaughter and Mark Edwards.
