An unexpected pregnancy and a blackmailing ex shake up a woman’s seemingly perfect life in this domestic thriller by the author of Every Little Secret.

Kate Marshall lives an enviable life. Married to handsome, charming, James, owner of a successful company, she seems to have it all.

But falling pregnant at forty-five was never part of the plan. Especially as Kate’s hiding a devastating secret—one that she’s been running from for twenty years.

So when ex-boyfriend Paul comes back into her life, threatening to expose the truth about what Kate did, the clock is ticking. Can she keep her secrets and finally be the mother she always dreamed of—or will her past lies destroy her perfect life?

Perfect for fans of Shalini Boland, Liane Moriarty and Jane Shemilt.
