Book Synopsis
I thought my first husband was dead. But when I get a letter with his name on it just days before my wedding, it will tear my perfect new life apart...
As we drive up to the gorgeous house by the lake with its red and yellow roses round the door, I breathe in the pure air and count my blessings. In two days' time I'm getting married to Matt, my soulmate and the father of my beautiful boy. After all the pain of my past, my life now is perfect.
But later that night I hear a knocking outside. I find the back door swinging open and a card lying on the floor, addressed to me in familiar handwriting...
I can't wait to see you. I've missed you so much. All my love, Callum.
Callum was my first husband. Eight years ago, when we were staying at this exact same place for my birthday, he disappeared.
All the people who were with me that terrible night are here for the wedding. My brother. His wife. My new partner Matt: Callum's best friend. We all had reasons to hate Callum then. We all have reasons to lie now.
The police are sure Callum is dead. But as I look around at my loved ones, I wonder...
Does someone know what really happened that night?
Does someone know what I did?
And if Callum is back, is he the dangerous one... or is it one of us?
An utterly page-turning, gripping psychological thriller, full of twists and gasp-out-loud moments. Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Shari Lapena and Claire Douglas.
