The Golden Child

The Golden Child by Lucinda Berry
Unrated

ONE LIE TO SAVE HER FUTURE. ONE DECISION TO DESTROY HIS.

An intensely gripping, unbelievably tense new psychological thriller from global bestselling author Lucinda Berry that asks one haunting question: If you had to choose, which child would you save?

---

Ella and Bentley are Irish twins - eleven months apart, inseparable since birth. Ella is the golden girl: disciplined, driven, bound for success. Bentley is the screwup: reckless, restless, always one bad choice away from disaster.

Until the night Ella makes a mistake that can’t be undone.

After a wild party, Ella gets behind the wheel - and hits a classmate. Panicked and terrified that her future will implode before it begins, she calls the one person who has never failed her: Bentley.

He’s there in minutes. He sees the blood. The fear in his sister’s eyes. And he makes a split-second decision that will change all their lives.

He tells Ella to go home.

He takes the blame.

But secrets never stay buried. And when someone discovers the truth, their family must make an impossible choice: protect their brilliant, promising daughter? Or save the son whose future has always teetered on the brink...
