The child she once fostered is back. And so is a secret that should have stayed buried...
Cora freezes, her breath catching in her throat. Outside her home is someone she thought she'd never see again: Violet. Cora fostered her years ago, and Violet nearly tore her family apart...
Now Violet's all grown up and her tawny eyes seem calmer, warmer. Cora can't ignore the guilt she's carried all this time... So, she welcomes Violet into her perfect home and perfect family - she has the kind of life some people would kill for.
Soon Violet is invited to family dinners with Lori, Cora's daughter, who was once afraid of her foster sister. And to coffees and catch-ups in the beautiful kitchen Cora shares with her rich fiancé... who, until now, knew nothing about her foster child - or her past.
Then the garden is destroyed. A decoration is taken off their door and posted to them, hacked to pieces. Did she make a terrible mistake, trusting Violet again?
When threatening messages arrive, it's clear someone's life is in danger; could it be Cora? And is Violet behind it? Whoever it is, someone close to home has a secret. And someone is planning revenge...
A totally addictive and heart-pounding psychological thriller packed with shocking twists, unforgettable characters and impossible-to-see-coming secrets. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell and T.M. Logan.
