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.
