About Ties That Bind: A compelling and suspenseful psychological thriller

I’ve been married to my incredible second wife, Ellen, for almost two years, and together, we have a near-perfect life. Fulfilling careers, a dream home, the freedom to travel—and two fantastic daughters from my first marriage who, for the most part, get along with Ellen. But there’s one thing I can’t give her. A child of her own. After two failed attempts to reverse the reckless decision I made a few years ago, Ellen and I have had to accept that parenthood may not be in our future. At least, not in the conventional way. One stormy night, Anthony appears at our door, stranded and in need of shelter. We let him in, offer him warmth, and a drink. Which becomes another drink – before our conversation turns deeper than we ever expected. Then he puts forward a proposition – one that is both exhilarating and horrifying. He can give us everything we’ve ever wanted. But Anthony’s offer must be repaid. However, some debts can’t be paid with money – no matter how much we have.
