A brand-new gripping and unputdownable psychological thriller from the Number One international bestselling author Adele Parks!
*****
Be afraid. Someone's watching.
At fifteen, Amy witnessed her father brutally murder his secret lover. Her testimony sealed her father's fate. With him in prison, Amy and her mother must rebuild their lives in the shadow of a notorious crime.
Years later, Oliver Harrington walks into the restaurant where Amy works. Just like Amy, Oliver has a past he'd rather forget. Amy is drawn to him at a profound level; they feel a connection, an understanding...
This seems a lot like love, but does it hide something darker - an obsession that could lead Amy into a web of deception and violence she thought she'd escaped? As the truth looms ever closer, Amy must confront a harsh reality: where there is love, there is often betrayal.
