About this ebook

From the author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged, the gripping story of a woman caught in a horrific cycle of abuse – and the desperate lengths she must go to, to escape.

When Aisha spots an ad for a 'personal introductory service for professionals' in the newspaper, she could never have guessed it would lead to such a perfect marriage. But you should be careful what you wish for...

Mark is sorry the first time he hits Aisha. His tears make her all the more determined to be a better wife; not to let herself down again. But however hard Aisha tries, she can't live up to Mark's impossible expectations – or escape his terrifying, violent temper. Soon she is trapped in a cycle of horrific abuse and imprisonment. And with two young children to protect, Aisha must draw on what strength she has left to find an escape.

What follows is something so devastating it plunges Aisha into her darkest days yet. Is the price she must pay for freedom too high?

Ratings and reviews

Well this book is very different to what Cathy usually writes and it says it's completely fiction... Although I bet there are so many that can relate to this sadly 😢😢 It was a good story though and I couldn't put it down... Only bit that was a bit confusing was the interview and then got back to story then back to an interview... Would of worked better maybe changing chapters when going from interview to story but all in all a good read and 4 stars from me 🌟🌟🌟🌟🤗👍

Great book different for cathy usual reads great read could not put it down even though upsetting at times

Brilliant book! How sad to know that people get abused so bad that they get to a point where they think they can't live without the abuser!
