 How far would you go to protect your child?

I knew something was wrong. It’s a mother’s instinct.

I could tell when my son started hiding things from me. He used to walk to school with a mischievous grin on his beautiful face. Now he avoids eye contact and keeps his head down.

Since I discovered he’s being bullied by a classmate, I’ve spent every day worrying, my stomach churning with anxiety from the moment he leaves the house to the second he walks back through the door.

Everyone keeps telling me I’m overreacting, but I won’t risk my child’s safety. My husband and I try to talk to the other boy’s parents, but it only makes things worse…

Then our precious child is hurt. Enough is enough. It has to stop. Even if that means taking matters into our own hands.

Because we know the truth about the family targeting our son – it’s not the first time they’ve done this.

So the question is, exactly how far will we go to get revenge?

A nail-biting, page-turning psychological thriller from the number one bestselling author of The Doctor’s Wife. If you love Behind Closed Doors, Gone Girl and The Housemaid, you’ll be hooked on The Couple’s Revenge.

It's a bottle I was saving for this evening, but that was before I suddenly saw the opportunity to let my hair down and de-stress a little earlier after recent events. As I retrieve the bottle, Guy is already on the same page, opening a cupboard to find a couple of wine glasses.™ Neither of us has to drive later today, so indulging in a little alcohol in the afternoon will not pose a problem. We head upstairs, and I smile at the sound of my fingernails clinking slightly against the side of the cold bottle. I smile
