What to expect
A family held hostage. A prison escape. A deadly game of survival.
Emma thought a secluded country cottage would be the perfect escape for her family. But their peaceful retreat is shattered when two masked men break in, turning the holiday into a waking nightmare. Calling themselves Jekyll and Hyde, the intruders are no ordinary criminals. They don’t want money. They want control. And they’ve devised a sinister plan that will force Emma and Joel to make an unthinkable choice—one that could destroy their family from the inside out.
Joel, a bank manager, is sent to rob his own bank. But the real target is Emma, a prison governor with dangerous connections. When the kidnappers force her to help a notorious inmate escape, the stakes turn deadly. One wrong move could cost her not only her freedom but the lives of her husband and daughter.
As the plan spirals out of control, alliances shift, and trust is shattered. Jekyll and Hyde’s motivations run deeper than money, and someone close to Emma is hiding a dangerous secret. With time running out, Emma must outsmart the criminals and protect her family even if it means sacrificing everything.
Dark, gritty, and utterly addictive — The Trap will keep you breathless until the final page.
