Publisher's summary

From the best-selling author of The Daughter and White Lies comes a thriller unlike anything you’ve heard before!

Julia Blythe is starting again. After blowing the whistle on a fellow surgeon at her hospital, resulting in him being let go, she found herself illegally bullied from the job by her male colleagues who closed ranks against her. No longer willing to endure their campaign of smears and intimidation, she packs her family up and moves to Devon, to start a new life in a new hospital. To Nathan Sloan, who abuses his role as a surgeon as fully and freely as he can, she couldn’t be more perfect. After all, he reasons, you can’t blow the whistle on two separate hospitals without starting to look like you’re the problem.

When Julia cannonballs into Nathan’s life, he finds that she very quickly manages to turn it upside down, and for one reason or another, he can’t get her out of his head. Pretty soon he would go to any lengths to control her, humiliate her, possess her. But Julia isn’t a woman who can be possessed, and when she discovers Nathan’s true nature, she becomes determined to expose him, no matter the cost. Nathan builds a web to snare her, and only one of them can emerge with their career and their life intact.

The audacity of a narcissist!

I enjoy reading Lucy Dawson novels and this one was no exception. The storyline definitely held my attention and shed light on a matter that affects so many women and men in the workplace. I was hoping for a different outcome in the end and I didn't at all like the epilogue. Still, the book overall was really good. I'd definitely recommend and read again.

Kept me listening!

Story was good. Bad guy was something else! Would have enjoyed sharing more time at the movie theater in FOxxx to understand that experience more in-depth. Would enjoy a part two for sure

Far fetched

But entertaining! No way would that dude get away with his shenanigans. Crazy! Excellent narrators. I’d read another from this author.

definitely not a must

I really liked White lies but here something felt off. without giving any spoilers it's just there's no real background explaining the behavior of one of the main characters only little clues thrown here and there but there's no consistency in in the behavior so it just didn't work for me.

Loved this!

I didn't think I was going to like this in the beginning but as I got into it and became familiar with the characters I found that I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to reading more books by Lucy Dawson. Narration was well suited to the story also.
