He offers me his hand and a too-white smile. But my heart stops as I take in his familiar face. This man knows my deepest, darkest secret. And the last time I saw him, he was dead…

I adore every second of my life as a wife and mother. Once a week – laundry folded, dinner simmering, my kids upstairs tackling homework – I kiss my gorgeous husband’s cheek, grab my gym bag and head out the door, thanking my lucky stars for this happy life.

But every time I lie to my husband about where I’m really going every Thursday night, a little piece of me crumbles inside. Deceiving him is the last thing I want to do, but it’s the only way to keep him safe. I need this little slice of time to myself. It’s my sanctuary, trust me.

Except tonight. When the man I’ve been running from for the past twenty years crashes into my perfect world.

In an instant, I know everything I’ve built could be shattered by him and our little secret.

Because this man should be dead.

I should know… I thought I killed him.

An absolutely addictive psychological thriller that will have you gasping at the twists until the very last page. Perfect for anyone who devoured The Housemaid, The Wife Between Us and The Girl on the Train.
