She was never supposed to be mine.
But for four years, she was my whole world.
Angela Jenkins never meant to become a monster—she meant to become a mother.
When a baby girl comes into her life under circumstances she won’t name, Angela makes a choice she can’t undo. She raises the child as her own, building a quiet, careful life around one fragile belief: if she loves her enough, the truth will never catch up.
Then one mistake cracks everything open.
Now Angela is trapped in a nightmare of police, court orders, and media outrage—while the little girl she calls Rose is pulled toward a life that was stolen long ago. And Angela is forced to face the question no one wants to ask out loud:
Can love ever excuse the unforgivable?
TAKING APRIL is a dark, emotionally charged psychological thriller about obsession, motherhood, and moral lines that don’t stay where you draw them. Taut, propulsive, and impossible to put down, it explores what happens when a lie becomes a family—and the past finally knocks.
Perfect for readers who love:
