The Waitress

De: K. L. Slater

All she has to do is to pretend to be his girlfriend…

Alicia has left her young son behind with her sister to chase a better life in London. But she’s not just chasing opportunity. She’s escaping the truth. And no one in her new life needs to know what she’s running from.

At The Orbit — a glittering high-rise where the city’s elite come to play — Alicia waits tables and watches everything. She knows just how to blend in, how to charm, how to make people see what she wants them to see.

So when the charismatic owner of The Orbit, Trent Connors, offers her a deal — pretend to be his girlfriend for an enormous salary and a luxury apartment in The Orbit — she says yes. Of course she does.

After all, it’s only pretend… Until it’s not.

Soon, Alicia is living the life she’s always dreamed of — but behind the flawless façade, something is deeply wrong.

And all the while, back home, her sister is hiding something far worse — something terrifying that Alicia has no idea is creeping closer.

She thought she was the one playing a double game.

But Alicia may not be the only one faking it.

And this time, the lies she’s learned to rely on might not save her — they just might finish everything.
