The Custody Battle - Ellie Monago - Bog

"What's going to happen to me?" my darling girl asks, voice trembling, clutching her favourite teddy bear. I ache as I tell her, "Daddy and I love you more than anything. Nothing is going to change."
If only I had known how wrong I was.

I've been dreading this moment. Lola's blue eyes fill with tears as Greg and I explain our separation. We focus on what matters to a ten-year-old: every other weekend, she and her dad will be off having adventures; every morning before school, I'll still brush her beautiful blonde hair. She will always, always be the most important thing for us both.

But the worst was yet to come. Greg is saying one thing to my face and another to his lawyer. Now he wants full custody.

It breaks my heart how Greg is trying to make my own daughter hate me. And he's determined to dig up dirt on me, to make the court think I'm a terrible mother. And while I do have my own secrets, two can play that game...

I never imagined it would come to this. But if exposing Greg's past is what it takes, I'll do it.

Because if the whole truth comes out, it won't just mean my little girl is taken from me... Lola will be in danger.
A completely gripping dark domestic suspense novel about a family tearing themselves apart, perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty and Sally Hepworth.
