*****

One last client

A week at a beautiful French chateau should be an easy final job for Dora. She’s smart, stunning and discreet.

She only needs to convince the other guests that she’s Daniel’s girlfriend.

One last chance

One final, luxurious week and she can leave the dangerous, difficult escort world, because Dora has fallen in love and is ready to embrace a better future.

One last secret

But as the guests assemble, it becomes terrifyingly apparent that putting her past behind her is impossible. And one last secret could cost Dora everything, including her life…

From the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Adele Parks comes a blisteringly provocative novel about power, sex, money and revenge.

This audiobook kept me company on a long flight recently, and was brilliant to help pass the time.
Quite a few twists and turns, and it covers a few different time periods as it fills in the back story of the characters.
Really enjoyed the narration too!
