Description
No one was going to replace her. Were they?
Carrie is a successful TV producer in a high pressure job. She’s talented, liked, and well-respected. She and her husband, Adrian, an award-winning screenwriter, decided years before that they didn’t want children. But now, just as they’re both at the pinnacle of their careers, she has discovered she is pregnant, and is shocked to find that she wants to keep the baby.
But in a competitive industry where time off is seen as a sign of weakness, Carrie looks on the prospect of maternity leave with trepidation.
Enter Emma, the temp, who is everything she could wish for as her cover: smart, willing and charming. Carrie fears that Emma is manoeuvring her way into Carrie’s life, causing turmoil in both her marriage and her work as she does so.
The problem is everyone else adores her . . . Increasingly isolated from Adrian and her colleagues, Carrie begins to believe Emma has an agenda. Does Emma want her job? Or is she after even more?
The Temp is a twisting thriller about ambition, deception and betrayal by Michelle Frances, the number one bestselling author of The Girlfriend.

Featured Reviews
Pamela C, Reviewer
This is one of those books where you are kept guessing all the way through. It’s rollercoaster of a read with ups and downs, full of twists you really don’t see coming!
Michelle Frances’ writing style keeps you turning the pages with ease and is definitely a “one more chapter” unputdownable read. The characters are well thought out and you really can feel for Carrie as she struggles to balance motherhood and work.
I don’t want to spoil the plot line by adding too much detail about the story, but if you like a book where you are totally engrossed in the plot and can feel the hairs on the back of your neck stand up then this is definitely a must read book!
