My first mistake was raising my daughter to be just like me...
His death is reported on the morning news. The man my daughter's been dating. Dead. Gone...
I blink slowly - once, twice, three times. The hair on the back of my neck rises as I grip my coffee harder. My breath comes in short bursts.
I didn't even know he existed until recently. Leah doesn't tell me anything anymore. But I found the letters she hid. I know she fell head over heels for him. That he broke her heart.
And that he's dead now.
I wish more than anything that the news is only shocking because of who it is, and what's happened to him.
But I know my daughter too well for that.
My first mistake was raising my daughter to be just like me.
My second mistake might be what I do to protect her...
An absolutely gripping suspense thriller that will have your heart pounding. Perfect for fans of addictive page-turners like The Housemaid, The Family Across the Street and The Family Upstairs.
