A debut psychological suspense novel about a young woman who tries to rescue her teenage stepson from a seductive psychopath.
Trust cannot be demanded, it has to be earned. And trust is fragile.
Lizzie’s partner, Jonty, is in his early fifties and she’s just half his age. His seventeen-year old son, Sam, has developed a close relationship with his stepmother even though they could pass for brother and sister. As Lizzie says, they’re an odd sort of family. But it seemed to work.
But now Sam is skipping school and behaving strangely. Pip, Jonty's bohemian mother, is convinced her grandson is in love with Lizzie. Jonty is too wrapped up in his own problems to pay much attention to anything. Lizzie struggles to understand what’s going on and begins to question her own judgement.
When Rebecca, the young drama teacher, who has followed Sam from his previous school, starts spending time with him Lizzie becomes increasingly convinced that something more sinister is going on. But nobody seems to believe her. Lizzie is determined to rescue her gentle, kind stepson but risks losing everything she has. Rebecca wants to save Sam from what she sees as an equally dangerous situation. And she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Sam is torn between these two women who claim to love him. But who can be trusted? And who really has his best interests at heart?
