Ties That Bind: A compelling and suspenseful psychological thriller

I’ve been married to my incredible second wife, Ellen, for almost two years, and together, we have a near-perfect life. Fulfilling careers, a dream home, the freedom to travel—and two fantastic daughters from my first marriage who, for the most part, get along with Ellen. But there’s one thing I can’t give her. A child of her own.

After two failed attempts to reverse the reckless decision I made a few years ago, Ellen and I have had to accept that parenthood may not be in our future.

At least, not in the conventional way.

One stormy night, Anthony appears at our door, stranded and in need of shelter. We let him in, offer him warmth, and a drink. Which becomes another drink – before our conversation turns deeper than we ever expected.

Then he puts forward a proposition – one that is both exhilarating and horrifying. He can give us everything we’ve ever wanted. But Anthony’s offer must be repaid.

However, some debts can’t be paid with money – no matter how much we have.

Wow, Maria!! This book was absolutely amazing!! I could not put it down!

If you've read other books by Maria, you know she doesn’t just write suspense—she weaves it, tangling you in the characters’ dilemmas until you feel as trapped as they do. Every decision, every moment, had me teetering between “oh no” and “what now?” This book isn’t just about the twists, it's also about the emotional weight of those choices—the way they pull at you, make you reconsider everything you thought was right and fair.

This book has completely captivated me—it’s hands down one of my *absolute* favorites lately! I might not be yelling it from the rooftops (yet), but seriously, you NEED to read it. Just a fair warning: once you dive in, there’s no turning back!
