J. P. Delaney Livres

Pete Riley is a stay-at-home dad; his partner Maddie works in advertising. After Pete drops two-year-old Theo off at nursery one morning, he's politely accosted by a man who looks just like Theo. The man, Miles Lambert, breaks the devastating news that Theo is in fact not Pete's son, but his - the two babies got mixed up at hospital, and Miles and his wife Lucy now have the Rileys' son at home. They've already carried out DNA testing to prove it. The two couples agree that, rather than swap the children back, they'll try to involve each other in the children's lives. But a plan to sue the hospital triggers an official investigation that unearths some disturbing questions about just how the babies got mixed up. And when Theo is thrown out of nursery for hitting other children, Pete and Maddie have to ask themselves: how far do they want this arrangement to go? What are the secrets hidden behind the Lamberts' smart front door? And how much can they trust the real parents of their child - or even each other?

Ein traumhafter Landsitz. Ein Mann zwischen zwei Frauen. Ein Todesfall. Und eine Frage: Wer ist das nächste Opfer? Der spannende Psycho-Thriller vom internationalen Bestsellerautor – voller überraschender Twists und packend bis zum Schluss! Als die Geschwister Finn und Jess vom Tod ihres Vaters erfahren, sind sie nicht sonderlich betroffen. Die Scheidung ihrer Eltern liegt lange zurück, und Kontakt zum Vater, der nach Mallorca auswanderte und ein unkonventionelles Althippie-Leben führte, hatten sie ohnehin nicht. Nun erben sie seine heruntergekommene Finca, mitten in den idyllischen Hügeln der Mittelmeerinsel. Der einzige Haken: Ruensa, die neue Frau ihres Vaters, die dort noch lebt. Finn fliegt nach Mallorca, um die Sache möglichst schnell und sauber zu klären. Seine Überraschung ist groß, als er ein luxuriös renoviertes Anwesen vorfindet und die atemberaubende Roze, die erwachsene Tochter seiner Stiefmutter. Hals über Kopf verliebt sich Finn in die geheimnisvolle und so verletzlich wirkende Roze und will alles dafür tun, dass sie auf der Finca – und bei ihm – bleiben kann. Doch dann beginnt die Polizei, Fragen zum vermeintlichen Unfalltod seines Vaters zu stellen, und auch Finn wird unsicher. Welches dunkle Geheimnis aus ihrer Vergangenheit verbergen die beiden Frauen? Sind sie wirklich die hilflosen Opfer, die unverschuldet in diese Situation geraten sind? Oder wollen sie die Finca für sich – koste es, was es wolle?
