BLOG TOUR STOP JUL 31


As my mom greets my husband for the first time, I spot the new diamonds in her ears. She’s trying to impress him, although I know her smile is fake. But that’s okay. Because so is mine…


The mother-in-law: Carol has planned a weekend of home-cooked dinners and cocktails on the deck getting to know her new son-in-law. But then she sees the way handsome Owen grips her daughter Gina’s arm too tightly. She knew Gina got married too fast. And Carol will make sure Owen wants for nothing while she uncovers all his lies.


The son-in-law: Owen has put what happened when Gina met his parents behind him. Now, he’ll charm her mother Carol with compliments and ignore the way she hovers. But when he catches her snooping through his medicine bag, he knows he’ll have to keep her quiet…


The wife: Owen has never asked Gina very much about her parents. He’ll regret that now he’s here. Her mother was never very attentive when she was growing up. But she did like things to be perfect. So Gina is going to show her all of Owen’s flaws… and Carol just won’t be able to help herself.


By the end of this trip, a marriage will be over. But who will make it out alive?


Meet the In-Laws is an absolutely unputdownable psychological thriller that will keep you up reading late into the night! Fans of Daniel Hurst, Freida McFadden and The Perfect Marriage will be totally hooked.


This book can be read as a standalone.
