SYNOPSIS/BOOK BLURB
A married woman’s lust for a stranger compels her to risk everything, in this new suspense by the bestselling author of His Other Woman.
It’s just a small picture in the local paper—Katie can’t explain why it sets her heart racing. But hiding the photo of local GP Joe Harvey in her bag sets in motion a chain of events that will dramatically alter her life forever.
Driven by a unhealthy desire for a man she hardly knows, the mother of two begins to worm her way into Joe’s life, knowing it’s reckless but still unable to control herself. As her obsession intensifies, Katie’s world becomes increasingly stressful and she’s forced to cover her tracks by lying to everyone around her. Katie’s dancing with danger, and there will be consequences. And while she can’t live without him, Joe barely knows she exists . . . yet.

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 4 STARS
Katie is a woman clearly spiralling out of control and for what? love? the thought of love? someone new? or just some relief from her life that has become mundane. Full of stroppy kids, a husband who hardly notices her and her boring job complete with irritating workmates.
I wasn’t sure initially how I felt about Katie? At times she really annoyed me and then I felt so sorry for her that I began to believe that perhaps it was ok for her have dreams and desires as long it stayed just that, and in her head. Does it? With each page turn Katie spirals faster and deeper than I imagined possible and it became so obvious that she needed help. The help though was from the one person that she needed to stay away from, far far away.
Katie’s character is complex and Sarah Edghill writes her with compassion and a level of understanding that really takes her readers on this emotional journey with Katie. The plotline is well written and tense to say the least. I really enjoyed this book and the outcome was actually much better than I had expected. An all round great read that highlights how easy it can be for something so small and insignificant to quickly become out of control and ruin the lives of everyone close to the situation.
