About His Secret Child An Utterly Addictive and Heart-racing Psychological Thriller

I stand at my father's funeral, tears rolling down my cheeks. Someone puts a hand on my shoulder, pulling me into a hug. As I look into the face of a woman I've never seen before, she whispers something that shatters my world. "He was my father too." Staring into the woman's glassy gray eyes, I pray that she's lying. I can't believe that my steady, dependable father could do this to me. But a hush falls over my family as my 'new sister' Ava spills secrets about his hidden affairs and how he bought her silence. Now she's finally free, she wants to be a part of the family. But as my relatives welcome her with open arms, I'm certain something isn't right. Details of her childhood keep changing. And I catch the way she looks at my fiancé, batting her long lashes and touching his well-toned arm. Can this woman be trusted? Does anyone else share my fears? Then, with a snide smile, away from the eyes of my family, she tells me that she knows my own dark secret. I need to stay silent to keep myself safe. Until I find a crumpled white envelope in my father's office that makes my blood run cold. What if my father's death was no accident? Is Ava really here to join our family, or tear us apart? Ava thinks she knows all my secrets, but she has no idea just how far I'd go to protect the people I love... An utterly heart-pounding psychological thriller that will keep you turning pages into the night! For fans of The Doctor's Wife, Behind Closed Doors and The Housemaid.
