The Stepdaughter's Lie: A totally heart-pounding and unputdownable psychological thriller

My life should be perfect. But my stepdaughter wants to destroy it all...

Standing in my bathroom, the luxurious marble tiles cool under my feet, I stare at the test in my trembling hand. The second line is unmistakable: I'm pregnant.

This is all my husband Theo and I have ever wanted, but I didn't think it was possible. I should be excited, but all I can think about is telling my stepdaughter.

Because Ellie's always hated me, ever since she realised it was no longer just her and Theo. Now she's seventeen, beautiful and smart - smart enough to see through me. And if Ellie decided to uncover my secrets, it wouldn't be just my marriage at stake... it would be my life.

But I've been so careful burying my past. There's no way she could learn the truth. I know stress isn't good for the baby, so I force myself to relax.

Until one day I find a packet of tablets tucked inside Ellie's bag. My head spins - she's made it clear she wants me gone but I never imagined she would try to harm my baby. I know I can't tell Theo. She would only deny it to her beloved daddy, fluttering her lashes like she always does.

My beautiful home has become a prison, my husband feels like a stranger. But all I know is that this precious life inside me is more than I deserve - and there's nothing I won't do to protect it...

An absolutely gripping and page-turning psychological thriller that will keep you reading late into the night! Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Shari Lapena and T.M. Logan.
