When Lucy Came Down From the Ferris Wheel

“The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. It comes from friends and loved ones.”

Lucy thought she had it all—a loving husband, beautiful twins, and a life in Fremantle that should have been perfect. But after the birth of her children, everything began to unravel. Diagnosed with severe postnatal depression by her childhood friend and trusted doctor, Sam, Lucy’s world becomes a haze of medications and mounting despair.

Sam has been systematically poisoning her with the wrong medications, manipulating her life from the shadows.

As Lucy fights to reclaim her sanity and her life, she discovers the betrayal runs even deeper. Sam hasn’t just been controlling her medical care, she has been controlling everything, including seducing Tom in a twisted game of possession that spans years.

Now Lucy must confront the devastating truth about her marriage, her friendship, and the dangerous woman who has orchestrated her downfall. But Sam isn’t finished playing her games, and this time, lives hang in the balance.
