Under Her Care

Fiona Gartland
Works of: Fiction
Publisher(s): Bloodhound Books

A nurse. A murderer. A choice no one should have to make.

Nurse Beth Cronin has built a life around caring for others. Then Gerald Hughes, the man convicted of her mother’s murder, is wheeled into the hospital where she works. Weak. Defenceless. And at her mercy.

As her father pushes for answers, a social worker circles with uncomfortable questions, and Beth’s job hangs in the balance, she starts to spiral between duty and vengeance. She has spent her entire career saving lives… yet now she stands at the biggest moral crossroads of her life. Because for the first time, the power to change everything is in Beth’s hands.

But when justice and revenge collide, which voice do you trust? And what happens if you cross a line you can never come back from? For fans of Liz Nugent and Ashley Audrain.
