Millie is hired as a made for the Winchester family. Nina Winchester seems warm and kind, the job also seems too good to be true for the young woman out on parole from prison. As Millie moves into the Winchester house and begins her new position, she quickly discovers that her new employer is very hard to work with but the husband is easy on the eyes. 

Whoa…. This book…. Oof!!!! There were so many twists and turns around every corner that I often felt as if I was getting whiplash. McFadden is very talented. I gave this a 3 star rating only because the content at times had me anxious.
