SOON TO BE AN AMAZON PRIME TV SERIES STARRING ROBIN WRIGHT, OLIVIA COOKE AND LAURIE DAVIDSON

She loves your son. She wants your life. How far would you go to protect your son?

'I was blown away' - Jilly Cooper

The Girlfriend by Michelle Frances is a gripping and chilling debut psychological thriller. It unfolds the story of a mother, a son, his girlfriend, and an unforgivable lie.

Laura has it all. A successful career, a long marriage to a rich husband, and a twenty-three year-old son, Daniel, who is kind, handsome, and talented. Then Daniel meets Cherry. Cherry is young, beautiful and smart - but hasn't led Laura's golden life. And she wants it.

When tragedy strikes, a decision is made, and a lie is told. A lie so terrible it changes their lives forever.
