'There's someone I want you to meet,' Belle says, as a man draws up to her side. He's tall with dark stubble on his square jaw. The corner of his mouth curls upwards in a smile as he slides his hand around my daughter's waist.

I grab my husband's arm to steady myself, as the room spins around me. I stare into the man's eyes - jet black. Nothing and everything hidden behind them. Fear prickles my skin as I remember what he did. How I only just escaped. All the lies I've had to tell since.

'I want you to meet Jack,' Belle says, brimming with excitement. 'He's my fiance.'

Fear hammers in my chest. I have to stop this. My daughter's life is in danger, and it's all because of me...

A totally gripping psychological thriller from an Amazon No1. bestseller that will take you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and have you gasping at the twists. Fans of The Housemaid, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train will be flipping pages all night long!
