Dream vacation . . . or holiday from hell? A steamy and suspenseful thriller, full of family scandal and murder. This is The White Lotus meets Gossip Girl. A standalone follow up to How the Other Half Die.

The truth hurts. But lies can kill . . .

Party girl Nia has never had a real family. The only place that's felt like home is Snarehill Estate, her distant grandfather's luxurious safari resort. Nia is desperate to run Snarehill, so her grandfather begrudgingly gives her one week to prove herself as manager, or he will sell up.

Nia plans the perfect stay for her guests, including getting an actual duke, Alex, to pose as her boyfriend. But Alex falling for her friend Emily was not on the agenda. Nor was Nia still having feelings for Theo, the boy who broke her heart. And when it seems someone is trying to sabotage her, Nia takes matters into her own hands . . .

It's the chance of a lifetime, but is it worth killing for?

Tropes include:
· Enemies-to-lovers
· Fake dating
· Murder mystery
· Haves and have nots

About the Author

P.C. Roscoe has sold cheese in Borough Market in London, scrubbed pans in a canteen, poured more pints of beer than is strictly necessary, processed invoices for a multinational, researched TV scripts, and edited romance. But her favourite job, by far, is writing, where she gets to immerse herself in tension-filled, high-stakes stories. She grew up in London, UK, and recently moved to a cottage in Norfolk where she splits her time between writing, cooking disasters and half-finished DIY projects and she honestly couldn't be happier.
