COMING 23 APRIL 2024!
An absolutely gripping psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist
The harsh light streams into the living room. On the worn rug sits an out-of-place wooden drawer and swaddled inside, with rosy cheeks and large round eyes, a baby looks up at me. A shiver runs through me. It’s all I’ve ever wanted, but this baby is not mine…
Rocking the small bundle in my arms, I’m reminded of a time when I’d pictured tiny booties in every version of my future. The day I was told I’d never have a baby, the ground fell from beneath me. Could this be my one chance to become a mother?
As the sun sets, the baby begins to stir. His peaceful sleep disturbed by the sound of keys rattling against the front door. Frozen in panic, and with my heart pounding in my chest, I don’t have time to think before my husband, Miles, appears in the doorway. His face contorts in shock glimpsing the child cradled against my chest.
I hear his questions, but I can’t answer them. The truth is, I really don’t know what happened.
Did I steal the baby from a loving mother, or did I do it to protect him? And when dawn breaks, will I give him back?

BIO
I live in Kent in the UK with my husband and fellow psychological thriller author, A J Wills, our sons, Oliver and Thomas, and three very demanding cats.
I worked as a journalist and police press officer before becoming a full-time author in 2019.
Endlessly fascinated by people and their fears and foibles, I love to discover what makes them tick.
I write dark, domestic thrillers about ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
When I'm not writing, playing tennis or attempting to run a 5K, I can usually be found people-watching in my favourite cafe.
I have written five psychological thrillers: When She Finds You, Should Have Known Better, No One I Knew, The Promise You Made and The Invite.
My sixth thriller, The Baby, will be published by Bookouture on 23 April 2024. You can pre order your copy here.
