Don’t Tell Him I’m Awak (en Inglés) - Gail Morin

She needs a second chance. The woman in the bed needs her to keep a secret.

Behind on rent and haunted by a mistake at her last care job, Mae Ellis accepts an overnight position at the secluded Vale estate. Her patient, Celia, is recovering from a serious head injury. Her husband is attentive. The work sounds straightforward.

Then, on Mae’s first night, Celia grips her wrist.

"Don’t tell him I’m awake."

What follows is a warning Mae cannot ignore-and an accusation she cannot verify. Celia’s daughter is supposedly travelling, yet her mother insists she never left. A camera watches the bedroom. And the household’s carefully kept records begin to contradict the people who wrote them.

Determined not to fail another vulnerable woman, Mae asks for help. But every answer draws her deeper into a family’s secrets-and closer to an unsettling question:

Why was she chosen for this job?

Don’t Tell Him I’m Awake is a psychological thriller novella about guilt, manipulation, and the danger of trusting someone who knows exactly what you need to hear.
