One last client
A week at a beautiful French chateau should be an easy final job for Dora. She’s smart, stunning and discreet.
She only needs to convince the other guests that she’s Daniel’s girlfriend.

One last chance
One final, luxurious week and she can leave the dangerous, difficult escort world, because Dora has fallen in love and is ready to embrace a better future.

One last secret
But as the guests assemble, it becomes terrifyingly apparent that putting her past behind her is impossible. And one last secret could cost Dora everything, including her life...

From the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Adele Parks comes a blisteringly provocative novel about power, sex, money and revenge.

Ratings and reviews

I'm not entirely sure why, but I just couldn't get into this book, it just made me feel on edge all the time, and I whilst I know it was thriller I just felt very uncomfortable and out of sorts with the story. I suppose the fact that I didn't like the main character didn't help either. Normally I love an Adele Parks book, so hopefully this is just a blip.

Wasn't sure about this book.. was going to give up half way.. glad I didn't. it came through in the end

amazing great story easy to begin reading and want to read more
