About this ebook

Nicole flies long haul across the world. Tokyo. Cape Town. New York.

In the cockpit, she's untouchable. At home, she's suffocating in a loveless marriage built on coercion and lies. So, Nicole finds release elsewhere - and uses strict rules to keep herself safe:

No married men.
No emotional attachments.
No getting caught.
One night only.

But when Nicole's husband is found dead - and she becomes the prime suspect - every lie is stacked up against her, and the life she kept carefully compartmentalised unravels rapidly.

At 36,000 feet, Nicole knows how to manage turbulence. But on the ground, control is slipping.

And when control is everything, losing it can be deadly.

Sexy, sharp and utterly addictive, this psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Jeneva Rose, Ruth Ware and Freida McFadden.

PRAISE FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY:

'One Night Only is a country-hopping, bed-jumping tale of deception and lies. Hamilton takes tension to new heights, before plunging the reader back to reality. High-flying fun.'
SAM HOLLAND

'A dark and compulsive psychological thriller, saturated with glamour and intrigue. Karen Hamilton returns to life on board the airlines with her usual flair and original style. An addictive and highly entertaining read.'
JENNY QUINTANA

'One Night Only is a deliciously dark and twisted thriller, with a protagonist so unnervingly flawed, I was hooked from the first page.'
SARAH CLARKE

'A stomach-swooping and frighteningly plausible thriller. Karen Hamilton perfectly captures the suffocating terror of a coercive relationship and creates a pilot heroine you can't help but root for as things slip from her control. An exhilarating ride.'
ANNA MAZZOLA

'Karen Hamilton is at her finest with this dark, sexy thriller set in the airline industry. Her depiction of coercive control endured by her protagonist heroine is realistic, chilling and devastating. Turbulence with a twist!'
NIKKI SMITH

'One Night Only is as deliciously dark and unsettling as Karen's other novels. A thriller with tension and pace but at the heart of it, the sinister unravelling of a marriage.'
L. V. MATTHEWS

'One Night Only is a masterclass in psychological tension - seductive, unsettling and intimate. It lingers long after the final page and gives a chilling insight into coercive control.'
JO JAKEMAN
