Product Details
Tess has a bad habit. She cant stop snooping through her guests' belongings . . .
When Tess is forced to rent out her late sisters old room to pay the bills, the urge to rummage through her guests belongings overtakes her every thought. Teasing herself with forbidden glimpses into the lives of strangers is a momentary thrill, but its the closest shes felt to anyone since the mysterious death of her sister, Rosie.
After her newest lodger, Arran, takes the room, Tess finds his salaciously detailed diary, which chronicles his infatuation with a beautiful stranger. The diary, which appears harmless at first, slowly takes a darker, more menacing tone with each new entry.
Is this a crush or an obsession?
Her compulsion to know the truth leads to Tess shadowing Arran through the streets of London, hoping to catch a glimpse of this unnamed woman. And as she continues to peruse his diary, she cant help but notice the similarities between the woman on the pages and herself, leaving her to wonder, Who has truly been watching whom?
