Lottie Turner is already infamous. Running a wheel of schemes and scams, she's willing to work for what she wants in...creative ways. But no business is more lucrative than desperate families looking to adopt a child—and there's only one way to procure children quickly.

And the only way to take what's owed you is to cross the line no one else is willing to cross.

Bless has finally found the family she deserved. After suffocating slowly with lackluster parents and a non-starter past, she's found the friends that means everything to her. That she'd live and die for. As they make their way across the country, one smash and grab at a time, Bless is used to acting fast and thinking quickly.

But someone is playing a long game. Someone has unfinished business. Soon Bless is forced to extricate the horrifying pain of her past and choose to find forgiveness in her heart, or get revenge.

A suffocating and sharp narrative horror novel for fans of Victor LaValle and My Sister the Serial Killer, I'll Watch Your Baby is a riveting portrayal of one woman's life—pursued, scrutinized and vilified—and the impact her image has had over the course of generations.
