Talent agent Mae Miller has problems . . .
Her mother, Elsa, who has Alzheimer's, has gambled away all of Mae's savings. Billy Mac, her most lucrative client, has been poached by uber-agent Matthias Bloom. And Mae is eight months pregnant, with a baby she doesn’t want.
Enter The Baby Exchange.
When a reality TV show seeks an expectant mother willing to have her baby adopted, Mae seizes the opportunity.
But there’s a price . . .
In the city of Los Angeles where viewing figures are king, Mae is about to be manipulated into giving away far more than she realises.
What will it cost to secure the happy future promised to her by The Baby Exchange for a baby she thought she didn't want – but who is becoming increasingly real each day?

'What a book! It’s heartbreaking that it’s even something we have to deal with in society but it is a very real thing and this book really makes you think and gets the cog in the wheels turning. I didn’t know what to think when I finished. It is a book that stays with you for sure.'

'I have to admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book at the start but about 60% in, I got invested and that ending was so worth sticking it out for ðŸ˜
It tore me to pieces and then glued all those pieces back together 😠this is such a beautiful book and well done to the author!'
