About this ebook
The Housemaid meets The Haunting of Bly Manor in this relentless and claustrophobic gothic thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author CG Drews.
When Wren Ott takes a job as a nanny to a one-year old baby boy, she’s practically desperate. She’ll do anything to avoid being homeless again. Anything to hide from her marriage that went south and the husband that still haunts her. The excellent salary and luxurious home are just a bonus.
Cadence Cresswell seems disconnected and lost in the massive, isolated Cresswell Mansion. She has little interest in the baby. Her mood swings are terrible. And her husband, the ruthless Lucien Cresswell, is only home when it suits him.
But Lucien is playing a dangerous game, and Wren is onto him. Now it’s up to Wren to protect the lady of the house and her young charge, before Lucien’s actions push them past the brink of their sanity.
Or at least that’s what you’ll think.
