I married my incredible second wife, Ellen , earlier this year, and on the face of it, we have a perfect life. We enjoy the fruits of my lucrative career, live in a dream home and have the freedom to travel whenever and wherever we want. I’m still working on bridging the gap between Ellen and my two daughters, who haven’t exactly warmed to her, but hey, that’s stepfamilies, isn’t it? I’d be confident of my wife and I being together forever, that’s if it wasn’t for the one thing Ellen’s desperate for, the one thing I’m struggling to give her. A child of her own. After two failed attempts to reverse the reckless decision I made during my first marriage, Ellen and I are having to accept that parenthood isn’t likely to feature in our future. At least, not in the conventional way. One stormy night, Anthony appears at our door, stranded and in need of shelter. We let him in, offer him help, and a drink. Which becomes another drink – before our conversation turns deeper than we ever expected. Then he puts forward a proposition – one that is both exhilarating and horrifying. He can give us everything we’ve ever wanted. But Anthony’s offer must be repaid. However, some debts can’t be repaid with money – no matter how much we might have. A compelling and suspenseful psychological thriller about fertility obsession, a marriage under threat and a charismatic manipulator. Perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst and Freida McFadden.
