'An irresistible read' — DAILY MAIL
LIES CAN ONLY KEEP YOU SAFE FOR SO LONG . . .
Liv keeps a low profile with her son, whom she will do anything to protect — even if it means keeping her former life a secret.
Anastasia’s world is transformed when she moves to Milan to work as a model. But there’s a dark side to the glamour that she is desperate to escape.
Selma knows how dangerous the industry can be. Through her work as a journalist, she’s determined to uncover it. When a young woman and her son are kidnapped, the lives of these three women collide.
Selma knows this is somehow linked to her story. And she’ll go to any lengths to prove it.
Unsettling, gripping and revealing, this is a timely psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, TM Logan and CL Taylor.
