‘A pacy debut that ensnares’ ADELE PARKS

THE PERFECT FIANCÉ.

When Victoria’s best friend Gwen announces she is marrying the rich and handsome Michael, celebrations are strained. Victoria doesn’t trust Michael – he’s hiding something. And he reminds her of someone she needs to forget.

THE DREAM WEDDING PLAN.

Too loved up to see Michael’s dark side, Gwen drags Victoria into a whirlwind of dress shopping, engagement drinks and elaborate maid-of-honour duties. Meanwhile, a mysterious visitor is leaving unwanted gifts in Victoria’s home, and Michael is becoming aggressive: no one gets between me and Gwen.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

The clock is ticking until the big day. Will Victoria expose Michael’s secret, and save her best friend from a marriage made in hell? Or will her past catch up with her first?

The Engagement is the unmissable debut thriller for fans of T.M. Logan, Tammy Cohen, and Caroline Kepnes.
