Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author of The Daughter and White Lies comes a thriller unlike anything you’ve heard before!

Julia Blythe is starting again. After blowing the whistle on a fellow surgeon at her hospital, resulting in him being let go, she found herself illegally bullied from the job by her male colleagues who closed ranks against her. No longer willing to endure their campaign of smears and intimidation, she packs her family up and moves to Devon, to start a new life in a new hospital. To Nathan Sloan, who abuses his role as a surgeon as fully and freely as he can, she couldn’t be more perfect. After all, he reasons, you can’t blow the whistle on two separate hospitals without starting to look like you’re the problem.

When Julia cannonballs into Nathan’s life, he finds that she very quickly manages to turn it upside down, and for one reason or another, he can’t get her out of his head. Pretty soon he would go to any lengths to control her, humiliate her, possess her. But Julia isn’t a woman who can be possessed, and when she discovers Nathan’s true nature, she becomes determined to expose him, no matter the cost. Nathan builds a web to snare her, and only one of them can emerge with their career and their life intact.

The plot and narrators are amazing!

This is an exciting read I would recommend to everyone! I enjoyed it so much.

The Secret Within

I find your writing to be a delicious the flow of the good, bad and ugly. I enjoy your view of the under current of the world 💪

The audacity of a narcissist!

I enjoy reading Lucy Dawson novels and this one was no exception. The storyline definitely held my attention and shed light on a matter that affects so many women and men in the workplace. I was hoping for a different outcome in the end and I didn't at all like the epilogue. Still, the book overall was really good. I'd definitely recommend and read again.

Wonderful twists

The story keeps you wanting to know what’s next. Wonderful listen and performance. Enjoyed my time with this book.

Kept me listening!

Story was good. Bad guy was something else! Would have enjoyed sharing more time at the movie theater in FOxxx to understand that experience more in-depth. Would enjoy a part two for sure

Evil exists even among Doctors.

Loved it . I'm a doctor and I appreciate the fact that the author did her research which is not easy, before writing this story. Most of it is correct. Doctors are supposed to be good people but there is no escaping personality disorders.

Plastic Surgery anyone??

Ladies unite!

This book was okay. Not very realistic. Kind of amusing that the majority of the women in the story were very strong while many of the leading men were just plain jerks at best, and seriously mentally ill/sociopathic at the farthest end of the spectrum.

A little slow moving for quite a while, then got better, then got worse, then better, and so on. I did get through it, there were some good parts but, overall, nothing to shout about, and I would not recommend it.

Kept me guessing

I very rarely write a review. I thought this book was rather interesting. It kept me guessing the entire time. I highly recommend it!

great book

I really enjoyed listening to this book it kept my attention and had great twists..

Nice surprise

I enjoyed this book immensely. It was unexpected, thrilling, and just disturbing. it certainly shows the scariest of personalities.
