The One Night Stand

The USA Today bestseller!

What happens when a one-night stand becomes someone's last day on earth?

Ivy Eames is a single mother struggling to get by. So, when her friends try to convince her to set up an online dating profile, she initially refuses. She doesn't have time to date; she's too busy keeping up with the bills and her troubled teenage daughter, Delanie.

But that doesn't stop her friends from creating a profile for her anyway. Curious, and naturally shy, Ivy finds herself drawn to the idea of one-click-away companionship, and the ability to portray herself as a much more confident, attractive version of herself online.

But what if this new-version of Ivy is out of control?

When she wakes up with a stranger in her bed, she is traumatized to discover that he isn’t breathing. And when she pushes back the covers…Ivy has little doubt: someone murdered this man. But who? And how did he get in her bed in the first place?

Instead of calling the police like she should have, Ivy tries to cover her tracks. She is fearful of her ex-husband trying to take custody of her daughter, and afraid of how this dead man in her bed will look to the police.

To find out the truth, Ivy must retrace her steps over the last few months and figure out who the man is exactly, and why someone would want to kill him in her bed.

An angry daughter, jealous co-workers, nosy neighbors with secrets, possessive men she’s met online, an ex-husband who wants custody, and her ex’s wife who wants her out of the picture completely…everyone seems to have a motive.

And when the man turns out to be someone important, the truth of his death can’t stay hidden any longer.

Ivy tries to dispose of the dead man and his belongings. But she should have known: nothing on the internet stays hidden for long. And someone hiding amongst a sea of normal profiles knows exactly what happened that night.
