You'd do everything for your dad. But she'll do anything. The high life is over. Her business is bankrupt. The marriage is done. Penniless, Genevieve and her young son arrive in London from Singapore. She plans to care for her ailing, wealthy father and mend their fractured bond. But someone is in the way – his hostile new caregiver. Charming and devoted, she controls his every move and mouthful. She’s perfect in his eyes… and everything Genevieve fears. Her father’s condition worsens, and so does Genevieve’s role – he starts mistaking the caregiver for his own daughter. Genevieve fights to reclaim her place. Instead, she becomes unwelcome and unwanted. But when a man is brutally attacked in East London, Genevieve becomes aware of her family’s dark past. Someone is watching the house. Someone who knows the truth. Genevieve must uncover the dangerous secrets before her father’s mind slips away... and she loses him. Can Genevieve stop the stranger from devastating her family? Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Lisa Jewell, this new Asian psychological thriller set in London comes from the Straits Times bestselling author of The American Boyfriend – and it will keep you guessing until the final page.
