The Abrupt Son

When Cynthia's husband dies during her pregnancy, she's expected to mourn. Instead, she's jubilant. He can never hurt her again. But what if the baby turns out just like him? Cynthia can't let that happen. She doesn't know whether to let nature take its course or to raise him to get her revenge. So she'll experiment as she goes. There's not long for her to decide though – she's in labour. Harry's son will be here any moment. Which life is she going to choose?
