About the book
Three’s a crowd. Especially when one of them ends up dead…
A dark, addictive story of obsession, rivalry, and the thin line between infatuation and obsession
'Thrilling, seductive, toxic, wild' 5* Reader Review
‘A gripping story I literally couldn’t put down. Wonderfully authentic characters in an increasingly dark, twisted fantasy’ Chloe Michelle Howarth
'Intense and compelling, with a dash of dark humour. I devoured it' Heather Darwent
'Will sink its teeth into you . . . oozes with sass and seduction' Vikki Patis

'It’s not the blood that gives away the fact that he’s dead; it’s the eyes. You never notice someone blinking, but it’s so obvious when they stop'
When university student Louise moves in with her friend Cat, she can’t believe her luck.
In her eyes, Cat is perfect – she’s rich, gorgeous, enigmatic and sexy, and the only person who has ever persuaded Henry, who doesn’t do commitment, into a monogamous relationship.
Life in Cat and Henry’s orbit is never dull, but when a night in for the three of them ends up in bed, Louise is confronted with the true nature of their relationship, and has nowhere to hide when Cat asks for help getting out.
Louise would do anything for Cat, even if what Cat asks terrifies her.
Because for Louise, the only thing worse than doing what Cat is asking, is losing her completely . . .
