The Holiday Home

Brought to you by Penguin.

Unpack more secrets with Jess Ryder this summer... the bestselling author of The Villa and The Ex-Wife.

When Luna returns to her late father’s farmhouse in the Tuscan hills, she’s hoping for closure.

The last thing she expects is for another family to turn up, claiming they’ve booked Luna’s family home for their holiday.

Reluctantly Luna allows the family full run of the house while she and her husband camp out nearby.

But as the heat rises, so does the tension. Old secrets flare, new loyalties shift, and the line between guest and intruder starts to blur.

Then the accidents start.
Small at first.
Then impossible to ignore.

Everyone is hiding something… and someone will stop at nothing to claim what isn’t theirs.
