Trust

A psychological thriller about a kidnapping survivor whose court-ordered helpers may be anything but. Domestic suspense built on paranoia, gaslighting and the terror of not being believed.

She thought surviving meant they were safe. She was wrong.

After surviving a brutal kidnapping, Elizabeth is determined to protect her son and reclaim their quiet life. No more strangers. No more threats. Just safety.

But safety is a fragile illusion.

A courtroom mandate forces her to open their home to a psychologist and a social worker, two people who claim to help but begin asking the wrong questions. Her parenting. Her past. Her sanity.

When Timothy begins to withdraw and show signs of distress, Elizabeth suspects something is very wrong. But is it the trauma resurfacing, or something far more dangerous?

Because someone wants control. Someone wants access. And someone isn't who they claim to be.

Perfect for readers of B.A. Paris, Shari Lapena and Freida McFadden, domestic psychological suspense packed with gaslighting, unreliable allies, hard-won survival.
