She thought surviving meant they were safe. She was wrong.



After surviving a brutal kidnapping, Elizabeth is determined to protect her son and reclaim their quiet life. No more strangers. No more threats. Just safety.



But safety is a fragile illusion.



A courtroom mandate forces her to open their home to a psychologist and a social worker—two people who claim to help but begin asking the wrong questions. Her parenting. Her past. Her sanity.



When Timothy begins to withdraw and show signs of distress, Elizabeth suspects something is very wrong. But is it the trauma resurfacing—or something far more dangerous?



Because someone wants control. Someone wants access. And someone isn't who they claim to be.



A taut psychological thriller about trust, trauma, and the terrifying cost of being believed. Trust is book two in the emotionally gripping When Bad Things Happen series.
