From the author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged,
the gripping story of a woman caught in a horrific cycle of abuse - and
the desperate lengths she must go to, to escape.
When Aisha spots an ad for a 'personal introductory service for
professionals' in the newspaper, she could never have guessed it would
lead to such a perfect marriage. But you should be careful what you wish
for...
Mark is sorry the first time he hits Aisha. His tears make her all the
more determined to be a better wife; not to let herself down again. But
however hard Aisha tries, she can't live up to Mark's impossible
expectations - or escape his terrifying, violent temper. Soon she is
trapped in a cycle of horrific abuse and imprisonment. And with two
young children to protect, Aisha must draw on what strength she has left
to find an escape.
What follows is something so devastating it plunges Aisha into her
darkest days yet. Is the price she must pay for freedom too high?
