They won their dream home. It’s about to become a nightmare…
When Merri and Dev buy a ticket on the last day of a national draw to win the house of their dreams, they never, in a million years, expect to win.
Less than a week later, they’re receiving the keys to their new Lake District mansion.
For Dev, it’s a dream come true – no more stressful rent negotiations or waiting for the landlord to finally fix the damp. Of course he’s delighted to be interviewed about their good luck.
But Merri feels a little uneasy. Dev doesn’t realise there’s a reason she’s never wanted to put down roots, always trying to run away from the memories of what happened the day her little sister died.
At first, it’s easy to think she’s imagining the shadowy figures in the lakefront garden. It’s silly to think that someone is watching her through the gorgeous floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
And then a body is found in the lake. And Merri’s new perfect life is about to come crashing down…
A completely addictive and unputdownable thriller from the number 1 ebook bestselling author K.L. Slater. The Lucky Winners will have you hooked! Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden.
Merri loves her husband, but she’s not a fan of their financial circumstances—overdue bills, a cramped apartment, and no money for fun stir the pot of desperation.
Getting a winning ticket for a DreamKey mansion as an anniversary present sets the foundation for The Lucky Winners by K.L. Slater. Suddenly, the spotlight is on Merri and Dev, which opens the door to a hidden past.
With a beautiful new home and millionaire status, the new residents meet new friends. There’s a dual storyline that kicks off, featuring a man seeking revenge. His role becomes more significant as Merri’s past unfolds.
Stuck in a house of windows, Merri has no place to hide. The discovery of a body in the lake takes her back to a terrible tragedy from the past, threatening her new happiness.
The Lucky Winners serves up a suspenseful reminder that secrets rarely stay buried.
