A precarious cliff-top bungalow, a man searching for peace, a pathological liar, and an alluring sociopath, what could go wrong? Forced to escape Silicon Valley, Alexandra decides living by the ocean may give her the respite she needs. Alex rents a room in a precariously situated house on the California coast, but the danger of it falling over the cliff quickly becomes the least of her concerns. The landlord, Noreen Palmer, who described herself as sweet and responsible, soon reveals her unstable nature. Noreen can’t stop lying, about everything. She lies about why she destroyed the mirror, about her broken love affair, and about the things that happened in her clifftop bungalow. When Alex finds herself drawn to the other renter, Jared Brady, an escapee from the corporate grind, Noreen's jealousy over Jared's attraction to Alex, and her escalating threats, drive Alex to search for the truth about Noreen. Once Noreen's secrets are revealed, Alex has a choice to make ... a choice between life and death. Start reading Alexandra's story of obsession and vengeance today.
Author
Cathryn is the author of over thirty psychological suspense novels including the ALEXANDRA MALLORY series, featuring a sociopath you can’t help but love. Readers have called the series “addictive”. The things that cause torment in real life—obsession and revenge, guilt and envy and longing—are endlessly fascinating in fiction and she never grows tired of writing stories about characters struggling to overcome the worst. Cathryn also writes ghost stories because who knows what lies beyond our senses—The Haunted Ship Trilogy and the Madison Keith series of novellas. When she’s not writing, she’s usually reading, walking on the beach, or playing golf, going way out of her way to avoid hitting her ball in the sand or the water. She lives on the Central California Coast with her husband and her cat, Cleopatra. You can get in touch with her by email, find her social media links, or sign up for her monthly newsletter at cathryngrant.com/contact.
