Number One bestseller Adele Parks returns with an explosive and deeply emotional family drama which explores the lengths a parent will go to protect a child; for thereâs nothing stronger than a woman whose family is under threat.
Connie canât wait to have all her daughters back home for Christmas. Itâs not just the excitement of the girls being together under one roof; uni student Fran is bringing a new boyfriend to stay. The empty nest will once again be full of friends, family and young love.
Yet from the moment she sees Zac, Connie feels a deep unease. Zac reminds her of the worst mistake she has ever made: a man whose charm and good looks nearly destroyed her marriage. Then, Fran announces sheâs pregnant.
Reeling from Franâs news and terrified that her past might threaten her familyâs future, Connie desperately tries to navigate a path forward. But thereâs a much greater menace looming, because sheâs not the only one who has something to hide. Someone in the house has another devastating secret. A deception which will put everyone Connie loves in shocking danger, and one of them will pay the ultimate price.
