About the book
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nanny and What She Knew comes the chilling tale of the aftermath of fulfilling all your desires
Be cautious of what you desire...
Childhood sweethearts Nicole and Tom were an ordinary, affectionate couple - until a massive lottery jackpot alters their lives in an instant.
Before long, they are residing in a luxurious Glass Barn on the picturesque grounds of Lancaut Manor in Gloucestershire. They have extravagant cars, costly pastimes, and a high-class lifestyle that was once beyond their wildest dreams.
However, this fantasy world soon morphs into a nightmare when Tom is discovered dead in the pool. Was his demise an unfortunate accident, or something more sinister?
Nicole is shattered. Tom was her pillar of strength. And their splendid barn - equipped with all its high-tech gadgets that never seem to cooperate with her - is starting to feel incredibly lonely. Yet she is not entirely alone in the countryside. There is a friendly young couple living in the Manor itself along with their middle-aged housekeeper in the Coach House. Additionally, an old school friend of Tom's has shown up to lend her support during her mourning period.
However, substantial wealth can bring significant issues and dangers. Could Nicole's life also be at risk?
Nicole is beginning to sense like a small fish in a vast glass bowl.
Surrounded by predators.
