About this ebook

‘A dark tale that gets under your skin. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the page’ Gemma Rogers, author of The Feud

Dark, disturbing and gripping. This serial killer thriller is not for the faint of heart.

When a beautiful young artist named Lucy Williams is contacted by a stranger offering her the commission of a lifetime, she doesn’t realise what she’s walking into.

His promise: that Lucy will be paid a large sum of money to paint a mural in the basement of his house. His special space. He wants to create a tribute to life. He says – with her help – it will be perfect and beautiful.

Her first instinct is to say no. But then she discovers she’s pregnant by her abusive boyfriend and she knows she needs a way out. Accepting her mysterious benefactor’s offer could give her – and her unborn child – the lifeline she needs.

Lucy has no idea that she’s walking into a trap. Set by a psychopath who wants to possess every part of her. A man with fantasies darker than anything she could have imagined in her wildest nightmares...
