About this audiobook
Shona Sterling did everything right.
She worked sixty-hour weeks, climbed the corporate ladder, postponed dreams of children and travel because Mark said they needed more time, more money, more security. She saved every bonus, every raise, every scrap of overtime. One hundred and eighty thousand pounds,her freedom fund. Their future.
Then the doctor called.
Stage four. Terminal. A year, maybe two.
Shona rushed home to withdraw her savings to book the cottage in Scotland, to finally take that sabbatical, to spend whatever time she had left with the man she loved.
The account was empty.
Her husband, Mark, had emptied it three weeks ago. Transfers. Cash withdrawals and a secret family in Surrey
Shona should be broken. She is dying, after all. Her body is betraying her. Her husband has betrayed her. Everything she worked for is gone.
But Shona is not broken.
She is angry.
And angry women, especially dying ones, are the most dangerous creatures on earth.
