About this ebook
An indecent proposal has fatal repercussions in this “hypnotic” thriller from the author of Keep Your Friends Close (Kirkus Reviews).
Roz has reached her breaking point. Her marriage and business have both failed. And with debts racking up, she’s struggling to provide for her nine-year-old son, who is starting to misbehave in school.
Then, at her sister’s fortieth birthday party, a perfect—albeit indecent—opportunity presents itself. Scott Elias is wealthy, powerful, and very married. But he wants Roz and he’s willing to pay for the privilege of her company.
Offering cash in exchange for a no-strings-attached night of intimacy, Scott’s deal could clear Roz’s debts, get her life back on track, and maybe give her the chance to have some fun in the bargain. But as the situation spirals out of control, Roz is forced to do things she never thought herself capable of . . .
“[Daly] has a real gift for mixing insightful writing on domestic life with a suspenseful premise.” —Booklist
“Daly heats things up fast.” —Kirkus Reviews

This book was just fantastic. .. after the first chapter it was very hard to put down. I found myself so interested in all the characters and always saying ... I would Der what's going to happen. Characters were well developed but not in a boring way. Great job. Excellent read.
