Book Synopsis



You've got everything she wants ...

Newly married Natasha has the perfect house, a loving husband and a beautiful little girl called Emily. She'd have it all if it wasn't for Jen, her husband's ex-wife who just won't leave them alone ...

Then Natasha returns home one day to find her husband and Emily gone without trace. Desperate to get her daughter back, Natasha will do anything - even if it means accepting an offer of help from Jen.

But can she trust her? And do either of them really know the man they married?
