A DOG WALKER NOVEL

Jane takes a dog-walking job in one of Phoenix’s most exclusive gated communities. The homes are immaculate. The neighbors smile. The money? Too good to question. At first, it’s just a dog—Gilly. Obedient. Trained to please. Then come the cameras. The way Jordan and Claire Whitmore watch her without ever seeming to look. And how her life away from work begins to feel subtly violated. Jane doesn’t scare easily. She’s got instincts—and a past—of her own. But nothing could prepare her for what the Whitmores truly want.

At the Loomis Estate, every secret has its price. Jane is starting over in Old Saybrook, Connecticut—new town, new job, same rules: stay quiet, stay useful, stay unnoticed. But her latest client, the Loomis family, lives in a sprawling estate in the secluded coastal enclave of Fenwick, and nothing about them feels ordinary. Her employer is the family matriarch—elegant, commanding, and quick to correct. The house is filled with routines Jane must follow and expectations she simply has to meet. Then there’s Graham, the grandson.
