About this listen

Don't miss the brand-new, nail-biting thriller from USA Today bestseller Claire Allan

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Valerie Keogh, Andrea Mara, and Claire Douglas!

She would have been the perfect mother. But if she can’t have her happy family, she's not going to let me have mine...

All I wanted was to help women become mothers. When I met Alice Monroe, we instantly connected. She was as passionate about motherhood as I was, and I couldn't wait to support her through this life-changing experience.

But the day that should have been Alice’s happiest, turned into a nightmare. And after Alice’s dreams were shattered, she blamed me. Even though there was nothing I could have done, she wanted to ruin me. I lost my business, my reputation. My world fell apart.

Then, I discovered I was pregnant. That’s why we moved hundreds of miles away to the remote Derry countryside. Now, with this beautiful baby, we can have a fresh start.

But then Alice sends me a message. She knows where we are. And I realise, it doesn’t matter how far we’ve moved, I am not safe from her.

My baby is not safe.
