About this eBook

'A page-turning thriller with heart' Renée Knight, author of Disclaimer

If you slept with a stranger for money, who'd really end up paying?

We all think we know who we are.

What we’re capable of.

Roz is a single mother, a physiotherapist, a sister, a friend. She’s also desperate.

Her business has gone under, she’s crippled by debt and she’s just had to explain to her son why someone’s taken all their furniture away.

But now a stranger has made her an offer. For one night with her, he’ll pay enough to bring her back from the edge.

Roz has a choice to make.

'A big-hearted, empathetic novel about ordinary lives and the tremors that can rock them' Guardian

Now a major ITV TV series starring Anna Friel


What readers are saying:

***** ‘Chilling, gripping and deeply addictive.’
***** ‘I could not put it down. This book certainly makes you question just how far you would go for money, for love, for family.’

Ratings and reviews

Slow at the beginning and drags on in parts but it picks up half way through and the end is pretty decent. A good read overall and a good storey

Very average in parts but picked up towards the end.

Love it !!!
