What to expect
She knows what it's like to be left behind. That's why she said yes.
When a silent little girl is abandoned at court, Anna isn't the obvious choice to take her in. But something about the child feels painfully familiar—and impossible to walk away from.
She thinks it's temporary. Just until the system finds a better option. But then a figure from her past resurfaces—the one she thought she'd escaped for good.
He's watching. Waiting. And the closer he gets, the more Anna's carefully rebuilt life begins to splinter.
The girl won't speak. Anna won't run. But protecting her means facing the darkness she's spent years trying to forget.
Selfish is a tense psychological thriller in the When Bad Things Happen series—gripping, intimate stories of ordinary women whose lives are upended by betrayal, danger, and the unexpected.
