How far would you go to protect your child?

​

Ava Bradshaw thinks she knows the answer. When she walks into her apartment and finds a dead teenage boy on the kitchen floor, her world shatters. Standing over the body is her gentle sixteen-year-old daughter, Katy, trembling in shock with blood on her hands.

Ava does not hesitate. She grips the kitchen knife, and coats her own palms in crimson. She tells the detectives she did it.

Charged with second-degree murder and locked in a holding cell, Ava believes her sacrifice will keep Katy safe.

Her defense attorney, Raymond Burke, refuses to accept her confession. He knows Ava is innocent, and he has less than seventy-two hours before the Grand Jury indicts her for life.

As Ray races against the clock to uncover what truly happened in that kitchen, he begins to realize that Ava took the fall for a story she never understood.

Every family has secrets. But in this house, the truth cuts deeper than steel.

My Daughter’s Boyfriend is a dark, twist-driven psychological crime thriller novella about maternal sacrifice, family secrets, and the monsters we never expect to find at our own dinner table.
