—Karma Brown, bestselling author of Come Away With Me and The Choices We Make

“A stunning debut … Our Little Secret is a deliciously twisted novel about a love triangle. It’s so suspenseful your heart will be pounding as you hurry to the end. Roz Nay has proven she can write the thriller you haven’t read before.”

—Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke, authors of The Good Widow

“A juicy, darkly comic tour through an unpredictable mind, populated by characters as captivating as they are despicable. If you liked Disclaimer, you’re in for a treat with this one.”

—Averil Dean, author of Alice Close Your Eyes

“[A] mesmerizing debut … Nay expertly spins an insidious, clever web, perfectly capturing the soaring heights and crushing lows of first love and how the loss of that love can make even the sanest people a little crazy. Carve out some time for this riveting, one-sitting read.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Captivating … Nay is a writer to watch.”

—Publishers Weekly

“Heading to a cottage this weekend and need a guaranteed good read? Bring this book. Trust me: you’re likely to read it in one breathless sitting. When you return to reality, it will be well past midnight and everyone else will have gone to bed. [A] winding, deceptive descent towards the truth about what happened. I didn’t see it coming, and neither will you.”

—The Globe and Mail

“Seemingly every aspiring author out there is now busy capitalizing on the trend, crafting dark psychological thrillers with unreliable female narrators and wild plot twists. It’s increasingly difficult, then, to stand out in this crowded market… All of this is why first-time author Roz Nay’s debut Our Little Secret is so impressive.”

—Toronto Star

“Roz Nay keeps readers enthralled with prose that’s at once lyrical and incisive. The author can make a drug trip seem poetic. Our Little Secret should keep readers tied to its pages.”

—Shelf Awareness

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

First and foremost, I need to thank my editors, Nita Pronovost and Sarah St. Pierre, who helped me through the maze of this book and kept telling me there was gold in it. Writing is without question a collaboration, and yet the fact of that remains largely unsung. Nita and Sarah, thank you for keeping me going, and for knowing me well enough to send up flares when I needed them.

To my agent, Carolyn Forde, whose honesty, dedication, and all-around total ability to get it makes me so happy to be on her team, and even allows me to overlook the New York rooftop parties she keeps going to without me. Thanks for everything, as always, and I look forward to more fun.
