Welcome to another Waiting on Wednesday event, hosted by Jill, at Breaking the Spine.
Every week, we gather around the blogosphere and search out the upcoming book releases, sharing our thoughts and blurbs. Today, I am eager to share The Mistake I Made, by Paula Daly, to be released on September 8, 2015.
Blurb: The Mistake I Made is the latest page-turner from one of the England’s most captivating new thriller writers. In her provocative and riveting third novel, Paula Daly focuses her masterful eye for psychological suspense and family drama on an indecent proposal that has fatal repercussions.
Single mother Roz has reached breaking-point. After the dissolution of her marriage, Roz’s business has gone under, debts are racking up, the rent is late (again), and she’s struggling to provide for her nine-year-old son, who is starting to misbehave in school. Roz is in trouble. Real trouble.
When Roz returns home from work one day and finds an eviction notice, she knows that it’s time for action—she has two weeks to find a solution otherwise they will be kicked out of their home. Increasingly desperate, Roz doesn’t know where to turn. Then the perfect opportunity presents itself. At her sister’s fortieth birthday party, Roz meets Scott Elias—wealthy, powerful, and very married. But the impression Roz leaves on him is indelible. He tracks her down and makes Roz an offer to spend the night with him—for money. He wants no-strings-attached intimacy and can guarantee total discretion. Could it be as simple as it sounds? With that kind of cash, Roz could clear her debts and get her life back on track. But as the situation spirals out of her control, Roz is forced to do things she never thought herself capable of. Can she ever set things right again?

I have read two previous novels by this author, and can’t wait to see what she does with this one. What are you sharing today?

That is quite a dilemma to find yourself in and it sounds like she is stuck after making a bad choice but I’d want to read to find out what happens!

what a dilemma. I hope she doesn’t do it, but I suspect she does! And then things get bad? Should be a good read.

WOW, Laurel-Rain! This sounds like an impossible choice! On the one hand, being able to provide for her son and keep her home is important, but at what cost? I hope you’ll get your hands on this as soon as it’s released – it should be a great read.
