The Babysitter’s Secret

Then: Everything I thought I knew about my life is a lie. My mother revealed a terrible, dangerous secret in her last letter to me. But, with her death, any chance of knowing the truth has disappeared. I’ll have to do whatever it takes to find out for myself…

Now: As I walk up the path to the beautiful family house in front of me, I am determined to make the most of this chance. And when Cecelia leads me into her spotless kitchen to explain my duties, I vow to be the perfect babysitter to her family. I’ve been given a shot at a fresh start. I can’t mess it up.

So I try to ignore Cecelia’s lack of interest in her two gorgeous children, her sharp words and unreasonable reactions – plus her two, then three glasses of wine every evening. But I know a bad mother when I see one. I know what that’s like all too well.

I’d promised myself I’d never look the other way. I can’t stand by while these innocent children are neglected. But I also can’t afford to lose this job. So I decide to do the only thing I can think of. I will use the secret I’ve been hiding, the past I’ve been running from, the person I really am…

Because Cecelia has no idea that I’ll do whatever it takes to keep these children safe. Or who she has actually let into her house…

With twists no reader will EVER see coming, this incredibly gripping psychological thriller is perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Widow and The Housewarming.
