I blink open my eyes, taking in bright lights and a white room. A man smiles warmly at me from the end of my bed. 'Honey, I've been so worried,' he says gently. 'Do you remember me? I'm your husband.' My blood runs cold. I don't know where I am, or who I am. All I know is I've never seen this man before... As he packs my things, the nurses tell me Freddie hasn't left my bedside since the accident I was in days ago. They tell me I'm lucky. We seem like the perfect couple, and together we'll figure out what happened. So I go home to a beautiful house with a fancy marble kitchen and manicured garden that is supposedly ours. But deep down I know something isn't right. Even though my memories are gone, this doesn't feel like my life. Slowly, flashes of memory come back. First the accident - the pouring rain, a swerving car, a sudden scream. Somebody whispering, 'I'll love you forever'. But most heartbreaking of all are the haunting memories of a blue-eyed little girl. Is she my little girl? Was she in the accident too? Or is she in terrible danger? Freddie is determined to keep me safe and hide me from the world. But I can't shake the feeling that we aren't the loving couple he wants us to be, and that beyond this house a precious child needs me now more than ever. So why am I here? What does Freddie want? And how far will I have to go, to discover the truth? An utterly gripping and page-turning psychological thriller filled with dark secrets and deadly obsessions. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Family Upstairs, and The Serial Killer's Wife.

¿I smile at my boyfriend as I set the table ready for the delicious dinner that's bubbling on the stove. I know I'm everything to him. I've made absolutely sure I'm his perfect match, in every way... Jay and I have only known each other a short while, but whenever I gaze into his gorgeous green eyes I know he's the one. His little house by the deep forest's edge is perfect for the two of us - there's no internet, no phone signal, and no neighbours. I'm about as far from my past as I could be. No one knows where I am, and I need to keep it that way. Warm in Jay's arms, I can persuade myself it's ok that he disappears for hours when he thinks I'm asleep at night, returning the next morning, glittery eyed and tense. And I don't mind that he likes to be in charge of our money, our time, of me. He's just looking after me, keeping me safe from the outside world, because he loves me. I won't question him, I can't challenge him. I need our relationship to work. Because I have secrets too. Jay thinks he knows me, but he doesn't have a clue. All I have to do is play my part, and pray he never discovers just how far from perfect I really am... A completely addictive psychological thriller packed with incredible twists you won't see coming. Perfect for fans of The Housemaid, The Split, and The Serial Killer's Wife.
