The Last Nanny

"You're not even trying to hide your infidelity," I mumbled to myself with disgust. Did my husband, Trey, no longer care what I found on his cell? He still had the same four-digit passcode from years ago. Was he hoping to get caught? From the outside, Piper Young appears to have a handsome husband, a huge house in a coveted neighborhood in Hope Ridge, Pennsylvania, and a healthy baby girl. This should be the happiest time in her life, but it's the opposite. Her husband's wandering eye and pressures of motherhood make her feel like she's drowning in the deep end. She needs help, but she can't find a proper nanny who isn't a thief, a drunk, or coming on to her husband. When she meets Lily Stevens, it's like the answer to a prayer. Lily is a natural caregiver, and Piper's baby, Avery, responds to her gentle touch and calm nature. Piper thinks she's turned the page on her dark thoughts of failure and depression until her husband, Trey, and her new nanny come face to face. Something is off, but Piper can't put her finger on it. There's a shift in the energy when the two of them are in the same room. Strange things begin to happen in their household that cannot be explained. Despite Lily being an amazing nanny, Piper wonders: Can she be trusted? PUBLISHER NOTE: A Small-Town Thriller containing adult language, violence, and sexual themes. 58,300 words.
