Valentine, Danielle

£9.99

Anna Alcott is desperate to have a family. But as she balances her increasingly public life as an indie actress with a gruelling IVF regime, she starts to suspect that someone is making sure that never happens. Crucial medicines are lost. Appointments are moved without her knowledge. She’s sure she’s being followed. And when she finally does get pregnant, someone breaks into her house and steals the ultrasound photograph of her baby. But despite everything she’s gone through, not even her husband believes that someone is playing twisted games with her. Then her doctors tell her she’s lost the baby. Despite her grief, Anna ignores them – because she can still feel the baby moving, can see the toll it’s taking on her. Isolated, and as her symptoms become more terrifying, she can’t help but wonder what exactly is growing inside her – and why no-one will listen when she says that something is horribly wrong.
