One for Sorrow by D. G. Torrens (Paperback)

Avery Masters has never known true love. Abandoned by her mother and failed by the state care system, she has learned to trust no one. Her world is carefully controlled and guarded—until Ethan Channing enters her life. Charming, handsome, and seemingly perfect, Ethan overwhelms Avery with attention and affection, making her feel things she’s never felt before.

Avery falls hard and fast, swept up in a whirlwind of passion and excitement. But all is not as it seems. Ethan harbours a dark and deadly secret, one that could shatter Avery’s life completely. The man she thinks she knows may not be who he appears to be.

Willow Forbes, Avery’s loyal best friend, sees through Ethan immediately. She warns Avery, but her cautions are met with disbelief and denial. As Avery becomes more entangled in Ethan’s world, danger closes in, and the stakes rise higher than she ever imagined.

One for Sorrow is a gripping psychological thriller exploring love, trust, and deception. It is a story of vulnerability and betrayal, where the desire to be loved collides with the risk of being destroyed. Avery must navigate perilous choices to survive, learning that sometimes the greatest threat comes from the one you let closest to your heart.
