My new home, Rose Cottage, is perfect. The landlady has just one rule: no men. What happens if I break it?
It seemed perfect for me and my five-year-old daughter, Lily— a pretty little cottage on a quiet country farm. Our landlady, Mrs Skinner, greets us with a bone-crushing hug. She seems nice, motherly even. She brings homemade cakes, freshly baked bread, and cheese.
Then came the rule. No male visitors.
I told myself it didn't matter. We needed somewhere safe. Anywhere was better than the women's refuge.
But soon there are red flags. Mrs Skinner's son watches me a little too closely. My lipstick disappears. Lily wakes screaming that there's a stranger in her room.
And when I ask about the last tenant – the one who vanished, leaving all her furniture behind – Mrs Skinner just smiles, and says she only wants to protect us.
But what happens when I break her rules?
This chilling, twist-filled psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Steena Holmes, Valerie Keogh, T.M. Logan, Lisa Jewell and Shalini Boland.
