‘Had me hooked from the first wicked word to the last. A delicious treat’ Louise Candlish

****************

Mack and Hailey Evans appear to have it all. Successful careers, a beautiful family, and a magnificent new house.

But modern life is expensive. So when anonymous payments start arriving, they are spent before they know it. Could this money be from Mack's estranged father? Or one of Hailey's clients? Does it really matter?

All too soon they realise that their mysterious benefactor expects a return on their investment. And the price is far steeper than they could have imagined …
