The Empty Crib: A Chilling Domestic Suspense Psychological Thriller
Some promises are made to be kept. Others are made to trap you.
From the beginning, Colin Santiago knows there’s no real connection with Miranda. By the end of their third date, he’s already planning the breakup.
But she’s already planning the wedding.
Colin ends things and moves on with his life. A few weeks later, a chance encounter with Lainey, a sharp-witted musician with a GO AWAY doormat, makes him understand what a real connection feels like.
Then Miranda gives Colin the She’s pregnant. And the baby is his.
Determined not to become the father who walked away, Colin agrees to be there for his daughter. But Miranda wants more than a co-parent. She wants the picture-perfect family she’s always imagined.
And she’s willing to do anything to keep Colin from choosing someone else.
Her emergencies come at the worst possible moments. Her tears are convincing. And the more Colin sets boundaries, the tighter Miranda’s perfect life closes around him.
How far will she go to make him stay?
A chilling slow-burn dual-POV psychological thriller about obsession, manipulation, and the terrible price of being chosen.
