What to expect
Never lie to each other.
Never cheat on each other.
And never, ever accept free money.
'Devilishly twisted’ Gillian McAllister
****************
Mack and Hailey Evans are on the cusp of living the American Dream. Established careers, two beautiful children, and a new house on a coveted lakefront estate.
But modern life is expensive, so the anonymous payments they start to receive are spent before they know it. Could this money be from Mack's estranged father? Or one of Hailey's clients? Does it really matter?
Then they discover that this mysterious benefactor expects a return on their investment. How far will the couple have to go to pay them back?
As it turns out, the best things in life are not free. And the price is far steeper than they could have imagined …
