Promises only last as long as you trust the one who made them...
The bestselling author of About You returns with an incredibly sophisticated, suspenseful psychological thriller about three women, their secrets, and the danger they can't escape.
Lisa lives a quiet life. As a single mother in her mid-forties, she devotes herself fully to raising her sixteen-year-old daughter Ava. When it comes to men, she is more than cautious, never talking about her past or Ava's absent father. Her best friend and colleague, Marilyn, wishes she would open up to people more and maybe even go on a date - with a new, attractive client who is obviously interested in her. But Marilyn has enough to deal with on her own. Ava is fed up with her mother's overprotectiveness. He wants to live like all other teenagers, have fun with friends, go swimming, study for exams, have a boyfriend. Her mother would freak out, if she knew, that Ava had already met someone, Someone, who makes her feel, that it is intelligent - and desirable.
Lisa has been looking over her shoulder for a very long time, but lately she has been feeling particularly uneasy. Now and then mysterious reminders of the past appear and fill her with unease. As her carefully constructed life begins to crumble, Lisa realizes that the only way to protect herself and her daughter is to face her fear. Although mere courage will not be enough. He'll need the help of Marylin, the one person he can trust. Their mutual trust is essential to saving Ava. Marylin promises to do whatever it takes.
But once upon a time, Lisa made a promise, and then broke it. Her betrayal has never been forgotten - nor forgiven. And now he has to pay for his transgression.
