Daughter Darling

Perfect mother. Perfect daughter. Perfect lie. It’s Imogen’s birthday tomorrow. I need it to be perfect. Nothing makes me happier than the smile on her face, the sound of her laughter, her warm hand squeezing mine when I’ve got something right. I’ve invited Aunty Helen and I suppose it’s almost a kind of test, in a way. To see if Imogen is ready to go out in the world again. I wish I could go back in time – stop Imogen from getting in the car that day. Really, I do. But the accident meant that, suddenly, she needed me nearby all day: to feed her, wash her beautiful golden hair. We’ve had more time together than any mother and daughter normally would. Now though, more than anything, I want to set Imogen free – get her to start living her life again. But what if she isn’t ready, and Aunty Helen sees something she shouldn’t? I’d do anything to protect the perfect little world I’ve built for us. Anything… A totally addictive psychological thriller SHORT STORY of 10,000 words with an absolutely jaw-dropping twist. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Guest List and anything by Louise Candlish, Erin Kelly or TM Logan. *This ebook contains a link to an exclusive FREE short story.*
