DESCRIPTION:
I play nervously with the white tablecloth in the restaurant my daughter Lise picked out. I want to make a good first impression on her fiancé. I watch as the door opens and a man in a crisp white shirt enters holding my daughter’s hand. The moment I see his face my blood runs cold. Why has he found me?
Lise slips out to take a call, leaving me alone with the man who could tear my family apart. Gavin smiles as he says the words that I hoped he never would: “You know why I’m here and what it will take to make me leave.”
My world starts to spin as my past and present collide. He’s been lying to my daughter about who he really is. But I will do anything to keep her safe.
Because only I know what my future son-in-law is capable of, how far he will go to get what he wants. But he underestimates how far I will go to protect my daughter. Which one of us will make it out alive?
Lise assures her parents that nothing inappropriate occurred between them while she was in school. But now, Lise seems utterly enchanted with Gavin, while Diana is losing her grip on reality. Should she diligently keep that dreadful secret hidden, or will her focus shift to protecting Lise? This is a crucial question, as Diana doesn’t trust Gavin.
The drama escalates! Lise is in the dark, Diana is gripped by fear, and Gavin holds all the cards. As is common in many novels, this story unfolds through a dual timeline narrative. Readers gain a good understanding of the events that transpired between Diana and Gavin. Moreover, Diana’s secret finally comes to light, at least for the reader. Will this revelation spell the end for Diana if Gavin chooses to disclose it? Gavin seems to be relishing the suspense, keeping Diana’s secret at bay.
This story is incredibly captivating. The interplay between Diana and Gavin is filled with intense emotions, and there’s an intriguing aspect of Gavin that gradually unfolds. Similarly, as Diana yearns to protect Lise, I found myself instinctively reaching out to protect her as well. Ellie Monago masterfully crafts Diana and Lise in such a compelling manner, while Matt is portrayed in a rather despicable light, adding to the drama’s intensity. This one-sitting read is one that will linger in my mind for a while.
