I’ve always had the urge to look after other people’s children. To pour care and love into their lives, because I know what happens when you don’t. There are terrible people out there, who have been neglected and hurt and want to see the world burn. You don’t want people like that in your home…
I look up at the beautiful woman with perfectly painted red lipstick standing on the front steps of her grand Victorian house. Harper already trusts me to take care of her two little girls: believes the lies I’ve told her about where I come from and how many other mothers have welcomed me into their homes. Then I see the familiar form of her husband. My ex. The man who knows where my own missing baby boy is.
I know Troy will never admit to knowing who I really am. Not after what he did to me. But I still expect to see shock and recognition in his cool blue eyes when he meets me: the woman his wife has employed to care for their children. But he simply smiles. He welcomes me into his home.
I’m determined to get the truth out of Troy. But soon I realize I made a terrible mistake in coming here. Someone has been in my room. And the gun I hid under my mattress is missing.
Troy thinks he can scare me away. But if he won’t tell me where my son is, he has no idea how far I’ll go to get revenge…
A deliciously addictive and heart-pounding thriller. Readers of The Housemaid, The Marriage and Gone Girl will be shocked by the endless twists in this unputdownable page-turner.

First, I want to thank L.G. Davis, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.
Fans of L.G. Davis The New Nanny must read her follow up The Nanny’s Child! It is so good! It is a fast paced, addicting, very suspenseful, thrilling, nail biting, and twisted psychological thriller that must be added to your tbr list!
Before you read this book I highly suggest you read The New Nanny. This way you get a better idea of the characters and the storyline. L.G. Does recap a little bit of the prior book. However, she gives us updates on the characters and their situation. You may be a little lost without reading the first book.
Love the books where the prologue grasps my attention straight off the bat. The Nanny’s Child did that for me. Infact, after I was done reading it I went back and reread the prologue and everything fell into place.
I enjoyed catching up with the cast of characters and seeing what they were up to. However, I forgot how creepy Wyatt was!
This book was filled with so many twists and turns. Not to mention huge secrets with even bigger revelations that you don’t see coming!
L.G. Even had some scenes that pulled hard on my heart strings! There was one part I teared up at
