Desire. Deception. Destruction. Devotion.
Lonnie is 26, rich, talented and beautiful - with a husband and son to match.
Ella is also 26, but lonely, hungry and far from home.
Their fates intertwine the day Ella is hired as the family's nanny, and finds herself mesmerised by Lonnie's girlish affection and disregard for the normal boundaries of friendship and marriage, but soon resentment grows too.
Crackling with sensuality and suspense, Madeline Stevens' debut novel is a dizzying thriller in which roles are confused and reversed and nothing is ever quite as it seems.
Madeline Stevens is a writer from Boring, Oregon, currently based in Los Angeles. She holds an MFA from Columbia University and her work has been published in a variety of literary magazines. She spent seven years working as a nanny in New York City. Devotion is her first novel.
