After penning books for celebrities, Maddy Wight gets what she believes will be the break of a lifetime. Dr. Angela Reynolds, a world-renowned cosmetic surgeon, has hired Maddy to ghostwrite her memoir. Not only will Angela pay Maddy a large sum of money for her troubles, Maddy finally will get the recognition she craves and so rightly deserves as her name will appear on the book’s cover as a co-author.

"Emma Bamford keeps the action moving with plenty of twists and turns that will keep readers wondering what will happen next."

Even though it sounds like a dream come true, the job comes with its own challenges. Angela is difficult to work with, and Maddy will be staying at a remote estate in the Scottish Highlands whiles she works on the book, which has a very tight deadline. To make matters even more interesting, she will be sharing the house with Angela’s business partner, Scott.

As Maddy gets to work, she runs into problems: Angela won’t answer basic questions about her background (which normally would be included in a memoir), Scott is sometimes friendly but at other times quite standoffish, and she finds a young girl wandering around the estate who shouldn’t be there.

These issues, along with others, make her writing less productive than it should be, causing her to doubt the process and her involvement in it. More events take place that propel the storyline in unexpected directions, leading to a conclusion that is quite unpredictable.
