It is lovely to be part of the first day of the blog tour to celebrate the publication of A Mother's Sacrifice by Gemma Mitchell. I have a brilliant extract today to tempt you with and there is also a Giveaway to win  (UK only) Details on how to enter are at the foot of the post.


God ensured she crossed my path. And that is why I chose her.



The day Louisa and James bring their newborn son home from the hospital marks a new beginning for all of them. To hold their child in their arms, makes all the stress and trauma of fertility treatment worth it. Little Cory is theirs and theirs alone. Or so they think…



After her mother’s suicide when she was a child, Louisa’s life took an even darker turn. But meeting James changed everything. She can trust him to protect her, and to never leave her. Even if deep down, she worries that she has never told him the full truth about her past, or the truth about their baby.



But someone knows all her secrets – and that person is watching and waiting, with a twisted game that will try to take everything Louisa holds dear.

If you enjoy a psychological thriller, this may be the book for you. Here's a short extract, to whet your appetite...

´Death! Where is your sting?´ Lifting her head up to the night sky, she loosened her grip on the railing.

In a matter of seconds, it would all be over…
