My job as a waitress means I’m used to watching everything – and used to lying. Soon I’m posing as someone’s girlfriend… But what does he really want from me?
When I slip on my waitress’s uniform I become a different person. And I’m good at what I do. I instantly identify Trent as the most important man in the room, and I catch his eye as I serve canapes to his rich clients. We share a little smile… and later that evening, he asks me to pretend to be his girlfriend.
Of course I accept. It’s the perfect way for me to escape my own past. He just needs me to watch certain people. It seems easy.
Soon I’m living in his opulent home, wearing a new wardrobe of designer clothes. Then I discover there was a woman here before me. Saskia. Nobody will talk about her…
Suddenly I don’t feel safe anymore. If I leave, I’m no longer protected. But if I stay here, in this silent apartment of secrets, will anyone miss me if I disappear?
A completely compelling and twisty page-turner from number 1 bestselling author K.L. Slater. Fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden will be hooked by The Waitress.
As a single mom, Olivia will do whatever it takes to ensure a solid future. However, she must somehow outwit the man who is blackmailing her.
Author K.L. Slater highlights the elite world of the wealthy in The Waitress, which delivers a twisty storyline full of double-crossing.
Two powerful men each seek to leverage Alicia to ferret out information that will harm the other’s chances of landing a piece of land for a massive project. It’s a high-stakes game that threatens Alicia’s plans for safety.
Although it may initially seem like there is a clear distinction between good and bad sides in the story, no one is quite what they seem. This adds to the story’s suspense and subsequent surprise ending.
The Waitress provides a suspenseful thriller as secrets from the past are uncovered.
