What to expect
* * * * *
Madison March has it all. The breathtaking Montana homestead, devoted husband, picture perfect children and ten million followers. Her days look effortless as she bakes bread, tends to her herb garden, and captures sunsets for her feed.
But the camera doesn’t always tell the truth. And Madison is living a lie.
When a seemingly innocent new hire arrives, and Madison starts to worry that her secret may no longer be safe, she realises – with devastating clarity – that her image as the perfect wife and mother is all that she has. And she needs to fight for it.
But how far will Madison go to protect the life she’s built – and the brand that depends on it?
