The Mother-in-Law

He loves you now. He loved her first.

I've fallen in love with a man called Sam. And he's perfect, just perfect.

It's a whirlwind romance. And when our dream home falls through just before our wedding, we decide to move in with his parents. He says his mother, Evelyn, is the sweetest person. But I'm not so sure.

She's obsessively protective over Sam. She wants to know where he is all the time. She wakes us up in the morning, bustling into our room like he's a small child, not a grown man. She doesn't want me to be alone with him. And with every day that passes - as I keep having accidents I can't believe are coincidental - I start to fear more that she doesn't want me to marry her son.

That she wants to be the only person he will ever love.

Then I overhear an argument between her and Sam's dad. Evelyn has a secret. And it changes everything I thought I knew about the family I'm marrying into.

From that moment, I know that if I want to make it to my wedding day alive, I will need to be very, very careful...

An absolutely thrilling and gripping psychological suspense novel, perfect for fans of Shalini Boland, Shari Lapena, and The Woman in the Window.
