Summary

All mothers have secrets... some are unforgivable.

Kate Marshall lives an enviable life. Married to handsome, charming, James, owner of a successful company, she seems to have it all.

But falling pregnant at 45 was never part of the plan. Especially as Kate's hiding a devastating secret – one that she's been running from for twenty years.

So when ex-boyfriend Paul comes back into her life, threatening to expose the truth about what Kate did, the clock is ticking. Can she keep her secrets and finally be the mother she always dreamed of – or will her past lies destroy her perfect life?

An unputdownable, complex and twisty psychological thriller about mothers and daughters – fans of Shalini Boland, Liane Moriarty and Jane Shemilt will love this gripping read.

A fast-paced and complex psychological thriller/drama, bubbling with secrets and packed withtwists and turns.
-- Susan Elliot Wright, author of The Flight of Cornelia Blackwood

A twisty, intriguing thriller with compelling characters and a dark, emotional heart.
-- Roz Watkins, author of Cut to the Bone and The Devil's Dice

Ruby Speechley is a truly talented writer, with her ability to create characters that feel so real… a shining example of a gripping domestic thriller.
-- Vikki Pattis, author of The Wake and Girl, Lost

A compelling read packed with characters who are both flawed and engaging… packs a hefty emotional punch. Highly recommended.
