Ten years post a messy divorce, Tiffany Parkes is at the peak of her career with an intelligent sixteen-year-old daughter Sadie, who has a bright future ahead of her. When she meets Lance Davidson at a work event—he exudes everything her heart desires—sexy, charming, dark, and mysterious. She quickly falls head-over-heels and is ecstatic to have found a second chance at love.
While Lance is living with Tiffany during lockdown, buried secrets slowly start to surface. The half-truths Lance feeds her are no longer satisfying her questioning mind. He soon becomes a stranger sharing a home with her.
Their shared confinement isn’t the sanctuary it was before, as her whirlwind romance soon turns into an ominous nightmare. When she gets a glimpse of the dark secrets the man she once loved… still loves… is hiding, she has no choice—she has to get out.
I am a freelance writer residing in the Western Cape. During my pregnancy, I learned there was a strong possibility that my daughter could be born with Down's syndrome. Becoming a mother re-ignited me with new-found inspiration to pursue my dream of becoming an author. Using my experiences, I hope to touch the hearts of parents who often go through so many trials and tribulations in solitude silence.
This book and story is so heartbreaking, especially to think that this happens on a daily to women everywhere 💔 It makes me so sad, yet so incredibly mad! You want to yell at the character "GET OUT", but it's literally never that easy 😭
Something that absolutely irks me most, is when this man (and many others like him) is acting like he isn't the reason that they're in the mess they're in. And fully acting like a complete c0w@rd!
Our FMC clearly gained self confidence after her first marriage of @bu$e, just to be thrown into the depths again (and this time even deeper than before), and into the worst self-consciousness. Now, she has to rebuild herself AGAIN. Trying to get away from the man and the situation, for her own sanity and safety, as well as those of her family and friends.
There were so many heart racing, pounding out of my chest moments, literally making me sit up straight so quickly, internally and outwardly yelling.
Enjoyed this book. Tiffany is a single mum. Lance is a guy she met during a work celebration. Everything seems to be going well until it turns sinister. Tiffany has to make some tough decisions to get her through these difficult times. When it seems she finally has control of her life, something unexpected occurs... The author left us on a cliffhanger. Loved Tiff, Sadie and her sisters family who stood by her. Warren is the best husband and brother-in-law. Can't wait to see what happens in the next book
