Summary

BRAND NEW FROM SALLY RIGBY AND AMANDA ASHBY

She’ll do anything to protect her family…

From the moment I met Nathan, a widower with two small children, I knew I would do anything for him. Sam and Sienna were both desperate for a mother and I knew I was perfect for them. I would raise them as my own, love them like my own.

I would die for them.

So when a missing teenager is found lying on the side of the road, my first through is for my precious kids. Are they home? Are they safe?

And then I discover something much worse. That the children I’ve raised could somehow be involved…

But I made a promise that I would protect my family at all costs.

Even if the consequences are deadly….
