What to expect
When everything she’s fought for begins to fall apart, how far will she go to hold it together?
“Heavy is the head that wears the crown” – and Millie Ward is about to learn just how true that is.
With her husband Paul’s loyalty in doubt, the life she’s rebuilt begins to fracture. One question haunts her: does he still love her, or has it all been a lie?
But as her marriage unravels, a new danger emerges.
When her troubled best friend Rosie is admitted to a private psychiatric unit, Millie senses something isn’t right. Behind its polished façade lies a dark secret – and when patients start disappearing, Millie fears Rosie could be next.
Desperate, she risks everything to get her out. But some secrets refuse to stay buried.
As the truth comes to light and the pressure mounts, Millie makes a reckless choice that could destroy everything she’s built.
Now, with her world on the brink, she must decide what matters most – and what she’s willing to lose.
A hard-hitting finale of power, secrets and consequences – perfect for fans of Kerry Kaya and Stephanie Hart
