The Girlfriend

Jennifer Fincham is still reeling from the sudden death of her husband Cole when a striking young woman appears on her doorstep with a baby in her arms, claiming to be Cole's girlfriend and the mother of his child. The woman goes further still: she says she owns the Finchams' family home, and that Cole had borrowed money from her before he died. With no means to fight the claim and nowhere else to go, Jennifer reluctantly lets the stranger move in.

As the two women circle each other under one roof, Jennifer starts to find pieces of a life her husband kept hidden from her, including a phone she never knew existed. What begins as a fight over a house and a shattered marriage curdles into something more sinister, as Jennifer is forced to ask whether Cole's death was really the accident everyone assumed.

A psychological thriller from bestselling author K.L. Slater, "The Girlfriend" is built on grief complicated by betrayal, a family home turned battleground, and a widow forced to reconstruct who her husband really was one secret at a time.
