When a shocking accident costs a young nanny her job, a handsome stranger offers her a position at his isolated estate - in this electrifying psychological thriller from New York Times bestseller Lisa Unger.
When aspiring writer Ivy Chase loses her nanny job, she finds herself broke and with no place to go. Out of options, she has no choice but to accept an unexpected offer from handsome and wealthy widower Evan White. Soon, she's on a private jet, heading towards the stranger's isolated estate, Fox Glenn, to care for his two children.
Fox Glenn, lovingly restored by Evan's late wife, Tess, is idyllic. But the children are haunted by their mother's death. Lulu is tormented by a menacing imaginary friend named Lavender. Asher is sullen and angry. Almost as soon as Ivy arrives, the police are at the door. The former nanny, who Ivy has come to replace, has disappeared.
Meanwhile, Ivy's previous employer has discovered shameful things about Ivy. She wants vengeance and is willing to do whatever it takes to get it. As Ivy tries to unravel the mysteries of the White family while managing frightening threats of her own, she realizes she's not safe anywhere - inside or outside the walls of Fox Glenn. Combining eerie gothic suspense with razor-sharp tension, Unger delivers an up-all-night, read-with-the-lights-on thriller about desire, deception, and revenge.
