Thriller Psychological
How far would you go to get what you wanted? The author of
Don’t Try to Find Me returns with a taut, riveting
novel of psychological suspense—a domestic drama full of
secrets and twists—about a woman determined to have a child,
her ambivalent husband, and a pregnant teenager with a
secret agenda of her own. “I know now that there
was no other way things could have turned out. Tragedies are
inevitable, just like the great love stories, like
us.” Thirty-nine-year-old Adrienne is desperate
to be a mother. And this time, nothing is going to get in
her way. Sure, her husband, Gabe, is ambivalent about
fatherhood. But she knows that once he holds their baby,
he’ll come around. He’s just feeling a little threatened,
that’s all. Because once upon a time, it was Gabe that
Adrienne wanted more than anything; she was willing to do
anything. . . . But that was half a lifetime ago. She’s a
different person now, and so is Gabe. There are lines she
wouldn’t cross, not without extreme provocation. And
sure, she was bitten once before by another birth
mother—clear to the bone—and for most people, it’s once
bitten, twice shy. But Adrienne isn’t exactly the retiring
type. At nineteen, Leah bears a remarkable resemblance
to the young woman Adrienne once was. Which is why Adrienne
knows the baby Leah is carrying is meant to be hers. But
Leah’s got ideas of her own: Her baby’s going to get a life
in California; why shouldn’t she? All she wants is to live
in Adrienne’s house for a year after the baby’s born, and
get a fresh start. It seems like a small price for
Adrienne to pay to get their baby. And with Gabe suddenly on
board, what could possibly go wrong?
