One last client
A week at a beautiful French chateau should be an easy final job for Dora. Sheâs smart, stunning and discreet.
She only needs to convince the other guests that sheâs Danielâs girlfriend.
One last chance
One final, luxurious week and she can leave the dangerous, difficult escort world, because Dora has fallen in love and is ready to embrace a better future.
One last secret
But as the guests assemble, it becomes terrifyingly apparent that putting her past behind her is impossible. And one last secret could cost Dora everything, including her life...
From the Sunday Times Number One bestseller Adele Parks comes a blisteringly provocative novel about power, sex, money and revenge.
