The Playground

He saved my little girl when I couldn't. I invited him into our lives. But I had no idea he knew my darkest secret...

 

It is an ordinary September morning when I nearly lose my little girl. My mouth is dry, my hands shake when I see that she has darted unexpectedly into the playground...

 

The place where my own childhood ended.

 

Where I can't set foot inside.

 

As she wobbles on top of the climbing frame about to fall, a silent scream freezes in my throat. So when a stranger hears her cries and rushes to help, I feel weak with relief.

 

I thank him as my daughter presses her tear-stained face into my skirt. Looking into his warm brown eyes and gentle smile, I feel an instant connection. When our paths cross again, I invite him for dinner. I've been so lonely since the breakdown of my marriage. What harm could come of it?

 

Soon we are seeing each other daily and I feel a spark grow between us. But then he says something that makes my heart beat fast in my chest. Something that makes me think he knows my secret.

 

That he knows what really happened at the playground all those years ago.

 

And if he knows that, he could destroy my precious family in a second...

 

A completely unputdownable page-turner about the terrible secrets that any family can hide. Fans of Lisa Jewell, K.L. Slater and Gillian McAllister will be hooked on The Playground!
