Synopsis: From New York Times bestselling author Mary Kubica comes three heart stopping thrillers where nothing is at is seems, now together in one e-book package that will keep you reading late into the night.
THE GOOD GIRL
“I’ve been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don’t know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she’s scared. But I will.”
One night, Mia Dennett enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn’t show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. At first Colin Thatcher seems like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia’s life...
DON’T YOU CRY
In downtown Chicago, Esther Vaughan disappears from her apartment without a trace. A haunting letter is found among her possessions, leaving her roommate Quinn Collins to question how well she really knew her friend. Meanwhile, in a small Illinois town, a mysterious woman appears in the coffee shop where eighteen-year-old Alex Gallo works. He is immediately drawn to her, but what starts as an innocent crush quickly spirals into something far more sinister…
As Quinn searches for answers and Alex is drawn further under the stranger’s spell, master of suspense Mary Kubica takes readers on a taut and twisted thrill ride that builds to a stunning conclusion.
PRETTY BABY
Heidi Wood has always been a charitable woman. Still, her husband and daughter are horrified when Heidi returns home one day with a young woman named Willow and her four-month-old baby in tow. Disheveled and apparently homeless, this girl could be a criminal—or worse. Nevertheless, Heidi invites Willow and the baby to take refuge in their home, despite her family’s objections. As clues into Willow’s past begin to surface, Heidi is forced to decide how far she’s willing to go to help a stranger. What starts as an act of kindness quickly spirals into an unrelenting web of lies and a story far more twisted than anyone could have anticipated.
