About the book

It all began when I met you, Lily.
Beautiful, dangerous, precious you.

At first Katherine dismisses her early-twenties intern as a millennial snowflake: entitled, moralistic, soft. Yet as Lilys youth and beauty increasingly remind Katherine of everything she once had, she begins to develop a dark fascination with her new colleague.

But is Lily as perfect as she seems, or does she have a sinister hidden agenda? As Katherine is drawn into an obsessive power struggle with the intern, a disturbing picture emerges of two women hiding dark secrets and who are desperate enough to do anything to come out on top

With shocking twists at every turn, Precious You is a powerfully gripping story of obsession, revenge and deceit.
