The Rented Family

Stella Marigold traded her suburban life to live on the road for a reason.

But getting offered an innocent-sounding job as a motherly figure to a young girl seems like a rewarding role that’s hard to pass up. And the paycheck will allow Stella to pay for repairs and get back to van life.

Jhor Farrow—the girl’s uncle and the one who hired Stella—keeps a watchful eye on them. But as time drags on and Stella’s van needs longer to repair, unsettling events take place.

While the money is helpful and the child might need a mentor, Stella begins to be afraid for their safety. Jhor isn’t what he seems, and the more Stella uncovers the truth, the more fearful she becomes as she realizes he’ll stop at nothing to protect his dark secrets.
