This twisty tale should really keep you guessing

The public fascination with wealthy entrepreneurs provides perfect cover for a predator in this clever novel about the danger of taking people at face value

A fast-paced, addictive thriller with whiplash twists that kept me riveted from the first page to the explosive conclusion. I couldn’t put this book down!

Lisa Gray, Amazon No. 1 and Million-Copy Bestselling Author

ALL EYES ON HIM is a fast-paced, thrilling read that keeps the twists coming until the very last page.

Jess Ryder, Bestselling author of The Ex-Wife

When Natalie saw her best friend leaving the club with a handsome stranger, she never would have thought that the next morning, she’d be found unconscious at a bus stop. 
 
What happened that night? Only her best friend knows – but now she’s in a coma, unable to tell her side of the story. 
 
Natalie is desperate for answers – so she can’t believe her luck when she comes across a photo of the man her friend left with. Except he’s on the cover of a magazine, apparently a famous millionaire who’s been named the ‘Man of the Year’. 
 
This man appears untouchable. But Natalie suspects he’s dangerous. 
 
To prove it, she takes up a job as the housekeeper at his mansion. Her plan is simple. Watch his every move. Gather the evidence. And make him pay. But when she discovers that the last housekeeper went missing, she realises she’s in over her head. 
 
She thought she was setting the trap – but has she just fallen into his?
