Eve and Neil are on the brink of adopting a little girl. But then someone makes an accusation against Neil that forces Eve to question everything... What if someone threatened your happily ever after? A brilliantly suspenseful domestic noir about family, motherhood, and choosing the right people to trust. Perfect for readers of Amanda Prowse and Sabine Durrant. Eve and Neil live in the beautiful Cumbrian town of Tarnside. After years of trying for a baby, they are in the final stages of adopting four-year-old Milly. They just have to pass the 'settling in' period – three months of living together as a family under watchful eyes – and then they can make it official . For Eve, her heartbreak is nearly at an end. She now has this perfect little girl in her life, a little girl who calls her mummy. But Eve's dream of a happy family is fragile . Any hint of trouble and the adoption could collapse. One misunderstanding, one rumour, one accusation, could smash Eve's family to pieces.
