Publisher Description
From the author of Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller Damaged, the gripping story of a woman caught in a horrific cycle of abuse – and the desperate lengths she must go to, to escape.
When Aisha spots an ad for a 'personal introductory service for professionals' in the newspaper, she could never have guessed it would lead to such a perfect marriage. But you should be careful what you wish for…
Mark is sorry the first time he hits Aisha. His tears make her all the more determined to be a better wife; not to let herself down again. But however hard Aisha tries, she can't live up to Mark's impossible expectations – or escape his terrifying, violent temper. Soon she is trapped in a cycle of horrific abuse and imprisonment. And with two young children to protect, Aisha must draw on what strength she has left to find an escape.
What follows is something so devastating it plunges Aisha into her darkest days yet. Is the price she must pay for freedom too high?

Good read
Enjoyed the book but thought it was true so disapointed it wasnt !! Prefer cathys other books about fostering.
Not what I expected
I don’t read novels I only ever read actual factual books so I wasn’t sure how this would go down. But somehow cathy has pulled it off. What a fantastic book. Welldone to the real Aisha who this novel is based on
Great read
Having read many books by Cathy glass, and being used to the type of stories she usually writes about, I was unsure if I would enjoy this particular book. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed this emotional fictional tale.
