About This Book
A dark domestic thriller exploring themes of infertility, motherhood, and sibling rivalry. Maggie has everything—a successful husband and a beautiful daughter—until she hires her estranged, less fortunate sister, Rose, to be her surrogate. The cover features a split-face design with a woman's eye peering through a blue-tinted void, accented by bold yellow typography and the hook: 'You want the best for your sister... But what if she wants your children?'
