What to expect
Mel has practised law for twenty years. She is well-regarded by her peers. Her clients are happy. But behind the scenes her life is disordered. Her son grows increasingly distant from her. The married man she is sleeping with fails to give her what she needs.
When a trainee lawyer is allocated to Mel it is poor timing. The last thing she wants is a pupil watching her every move. And Natasha does watch. She sees each detail and every mistake. Mel cannot shake the feeling that Natasha isn't just learning the job. She is learning Mel.
Natasha is good at getting what she wants, and now Mel has the power to give her all she desires. But when Mel chooses not to, Natasha knows just what Mel's vulnerabilities are and how to turn them against her. Mel's secrets could ruin her. But who will be believed?
A twisted and gripping tale of desperation and revenge perfect for fans of Rene Knight, Sarah Vaughan and Michelle Frances.
