Synopsis

Another page-turning story of tragedy and triumph from the No.1 bestselling author of The Loner and The Journey. With her shy smile and kind nature, she fits into the family easily. When Nancy Arnold’s eldest son Frank begins to show an interest in the new arrival, she believes that at long last he has found a woman to share his life with. But tensions begin to rise between Frank and his brother, and while Nancy puts it down to sibling rivalry, her husband senses a more dangerous undercurrent. Something has deeply unsettled their peaceful world and Ellie is also affected. Someone is playing a game, a tragic game that will tear apart not only Nancy Arnold’s family but the lives of others too…

Goodreads review by Minnie on September 21, 2024

Rating: 4/5 Talk about marrying the wrong brother! What a sick man! This book made me cry, and cry lots. Abuse, neglect and torture on one poor woman who should’ve been with the other brother.
