The Night Nanny

The newest twisty thriller from #1 Bestselling Author Sarah Pekkanen.

The Briarly Academy is an elite school for nannies in the English countryside unlike any other. For more than a century, it has supplied impeccably trained caregivers to royalty, celebrities, billionaires, and some of the world's most powerful families. Its graduates master far more than childcare—they're experts in etiquette, palace protocol, defensive driving, emergency medicine, and even martial arts. Earning a place among their ranks is nearly impossible. Landing one of their coveted positions is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Ambitious young American Emily dreams of attending the prestigious academy. Determined to prove she belongs, she excels despite fierce competition and the enemies she makes along the way. When she graduates, she secures what seems like a dream assignment: serving as the night nanny for the young son of an extraordinarily wealthy, intensely private family in a penthouse on Billionaire’s Row in Manhattan.

But as Emily watches over the boy in the darkness, he is plagued by terrifying night terrors. Almost immediately, Emily senses that something is deeply wrong. The staff guard dangerous secrets. The parents' stories don't add up. Strange events unfold in the middle of the night, and the child's nightmares begin to feel less like dreams—and more like warnings.

As Emily digs deeper, she questions whether she was hired simply to protect the boy, or brought into the penthouse for a far more sinister reason. And by the time she uncovers the truth, escaping with her life—and his—may be impossible.

Blending the irresistible behind-the-scenes world of an elite nanny academy with relentless psychological suspense, The Night Nanny is a propulsive thriller that will keep readers riveted until the final shocking reveal.
