HER BOYFRIEND'S A DREAM. HIS FAMILY'S A NIGHTMARE.


Since her mother died of an overdose, kind-hearted Cheryl's always had to look out for herself. Until Dale Moran walks into her life.

Dale and his family have just bought the house across the street, and within a day, he's chased off the violent thugs who've been threatening Cheryl for her ex-boyfriend's debts.

Dale is devastatingly handsome and a fierce protector. It's no wonder Cheryl falls fast and hard. But when Cheryl finally meets the family; when she notices that they go quiet as she enters rooms; when she hears gunshots in the middle of the night on their estate, she has to wonder whether her new romance has taken her out of the frying pan and into the fire...

Cheryl's not sure how wrapped up Dale is in his family's secrets. But she's certain of one thing: The Morans are hiding something. And unfortunately for Cheryl, finding the truth could mean losing her life...

Gripping and unputdownable - Mandasue Heller's best yet. Loved it!
Kimberley Chambers
Mandasue Heller never disappoints! The Family is a gritty, fast-paced, compelling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Roberta Kray
It was terrifying! I kept thinking I'm so glad my husband's family isn't like this! Great writing with characters you love to hate. A frightening cautionary tale that stays with you after you've finished reading it, Mandasue Heller's at the top of her game.
Heather Atkinson
A real page-turner.
Kerry Barnes
Once again Mandasue has delivered. The Family is a gritty, fast-paced story and a must read for any fans of gangland fiction. A real page-turner full of twists and turns that has you rooting for the characters
Kerry Kaya
A dark, gritty, and unputdownable read! ★★★★★... I've loved all of her previous books, but Mandasue has outdone herself with The Family. Her storytelling is unmatched with characters so vivid they leap off the page.
