Women's Fiction Psychological | Thriller Domestic

Alyssa doesn’t know who she is anymore – not since her husband left her. They are headed straight for divorce.  He took her friends, her money, and now he’s going after her sanity. Alyssa’s convinced he’s gaslighting her. She doesn’t have anyone to turn to until she meets a stranger in a bar one night.

Bree has her own man trouble and she needs a place to stay. Alyssa offers her the guest house for a night. One night turns into several. They lean on each other through their tough times. Sometimes it’s easier to focus on someone else’s problems rather than your own.

When the FBI shows up on Alyssa’s doorstep, she’s stunned. Apparently, her husband has been shady about money. They badger Alyssa, believing she's also involved in the scam. Alyssa is adamant that she knows nothing about Bill’s money dealings. They ask for her help in taking him down, but she’s not sure who to trust.

THE HOUSE GUEST is a page-turning thriller by Hank Phillippi Ryan. The plot twists and an unreliable narrator will keep readers guessing. This domestic thriller is sure to please.

SUMMARY

The House Guest is another diabolical cat-and-mouse thriller from USA Today bestselling author Hank Phillippi Ryan—but which character is the cat, and which character is the mouse?

After every divorce, one spouse gets all the friends. What does the other one get? If they’re smart, they get the benefits. Alyssa Macallan is terrified when she’s dumped by her wealthy and powerful husband. With a devastating divorce looming, she begins to suspect her toxic and manipulative soon-to-be-ex is scheming to ruin her—leaving her alone and penniless. And when the FBI shows up at her door, Alyssa knows she really needs a friend.

And then she gets one. A seductive new friend, one who’s running from a dangerous relationship of her own. Alyssa offers Bree Lorrance the safety of her guest house, and the two become confidantes. Then Bree makes a heart-stoppingly tempting offer. Maybe Alyssa and Bree can solve each others’ problems.

But no one is what they seem. And the fates and fortunes of these two women twist and turn until the shocking truth emerges: You can’t always get what you want. But sometimes you get what you deserve.
