She has no memory of her sisters. One of them would stop at nothing to protect her. The other has vowed to destroy her. Which one will find her first?
Steffi knows she’s lucky. She lives in a gorgeous house in Edinburgh with her fiancé, Tom, his adorable daughter and the new baby she has always longed for.
But she hasn’t told anybody that there have been several near-misses involving the children. That she’s terrified of going upstairs in her own house. Or that her childhood imaginary friend has come back, whispering instructions on how to look after the baby. Worst of all, she can’t confide in Tom. Not after what happened to his first wife.
Miles away in Yorkshire, Joanne’s life couldn’t be more different. Nobody would call her a ‘people person’ and she’s managed without them for years, devoting her life to caring for abandoned cats. But now she has decided to embark on a search that could change everything. A beloved family member was taken from her long ago, and now she intends to find her, whatever it takes.
But there is someone else out there too, playing a deadly game. Someone who is consumed with the desire for revenge, and is waiting for the right time to strike.
