The Mistake I Made

The Mistake I Made

Summary

If you slept with a stranger for money, who'd really end up paying?

'A page-turning thriller with heart' Renée Knight, author of Disclaimer

We all think we know who we are.

What we’re capable of.

Roz is a single mother, a physiotherapist, a sister, a friend. She’s also desperate.

Her business has gone under, she’s crippled by debt and she’s just had to explain to her son why someone’s taken all their furniture away.

But now a stranger has made her an offer. For one night with her, he’ll pay enough to bring her back from the edge.

Roz has a choice to make.

'A big-hearted, empathetic novel about ordinary lives and the tremors that can rock them' Guardian
