Guest Room

By Nora Ashford

She was supposed to check out Sunday. It's Wednesday.

To save their struggling marriage, Nora and James list their guest room on a home-sharing app. Their first guest, a charming woman named Sadie, is supposed to stay three nights.

On night four, she doesn't leave.

She claims there's a booking error. Then she starts cooking for them, learning their routines, befriending their daughter. She fixes the faucet James never got to. She wears a necklace she says Nora gave her - except Nora didn't. She rearranges the bathroom cabinet so her things sit alongside theirs, as if she's always lived here.

When Nora demands she leave, Sadie reveals she has squatter's rights - and something she found in the house that Nora desperately needs to stay hidden.

Because Nora has a secret. One she has been locking behind the basement door every single night for seven years. She can't call the police. She can never call the police to this house. And the woman in her guest room knows exactly where to look.

The guest isn't leaving. And Nora is out of doors to lock.

Guest Room is the first book in the Guest Room series. Book two, Guest List, is available now.
