Don't Trust Him - by Karen King (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

His ex is missing. Am I next?

Charlie takes my breath away from the moment we meet, when he is dropping his adorable little girls off at the school gates at the same time as I'm waving goodbye to my son. Being a single mother has been hard. So when his gorgeous green-blue eyes hold mine and his lips curve into a smile I wonder if this is my chance to find happiness and escape the secrets in my past.

Charlie and I connect on the deepest level - talking late into the night in the stunning home his mother Alice gave him. For a long time, it's been me and my seven-year-old son Liam against the world but soon I'm falling for this handsome man. He promises to be honest with me and, in my gut, I trust him.

As he gives me a lift to work one morning, Charlie shares his heartbreak: his ex-wife found another man, abandoned her daughters and never looked back. That's why Alice finds it so hard to accept me, the new woman in her precious son's life. I hope I can win her over, and that she'll never find out the truth about what I did...

Then I discover his ex-wife Lynn's journal hidden away in his house with a sapphire ring and a silk scarf. My stomach twists as I sense something is very wrong.

When someone walks into the room behind me, my heart plummets and I turn to face them. I think something awful happened to Lynn. But who is telling the truth - my new boyfriend, his ex-wife or his mother? And can I escape with my precious son before it is too late?

A nail-biting page-turner with a gasp-out-loud reveal. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, K.L. Slater and Jackie Kabler.
