The twisty and addictive new thriller from the bestselling author of The Perfect Father
'Get ready for a roller-coaster ride with this tense and twisty story of two women with dark secrets' HEAT
One mother on the run. A safe place to hide. But you can't escape the past forever . . .
Faye is 39 and single. She's terrified she may never have the one thing she always wanted: a child of her own.
Then she discovers a co-parenting app: Acorns. For men and women who want to have a baby, but don't want to do it alone. When she meets Louis through it, it feels as though the fates have aligned.
But just one year later, Faye is on the run from Louis, with baby Jake in tow. In desperate need of a new place to live, she contacts Rachel, who's renting out a room in her remote Norfolk cottage. It's all Faye can afford - and surely she'll be safe from Louis there?
But is Rachel the benevolent landlady she pretends to be? Or does she have a secret of her own?
