Alison has an excellent relationship with her eighteen-year-old daughter. Lola is a hardworking, straight-A student, bound for university. They tell each other everything. Or so she thought.

Lola has a secret: she’s been sneaking off to meet her much older boyfriend, Brendan. He’s everything she ever dreamed of – enigmatic, cool and absolutely irresistible.

That’s what Alison thought too, when she first met Brendan years ago, at university. Before he ruined her life.

Alison is all too familiar with what Brendan is capable of. And she knows she has to protect Lola. She'll do whatever it takes to keep Brendan away from her daughter, but that’s just the beginning of her nightmare…

An unputdownable psychological thriller. Perfect for fans of Gillian McAllister and Lisa Jewell.
