What to expect
With a twist you won’t see coming, this addictive, heart-in-your-mouth thriller is perfect for anyone who loved The Boyfriend and The Housemaid by Freida McFadden.
Last night was a fairytale.
You wake up today with a ring on your finger, engaged to the man of your dreams.
As you open your eyes, you feel instantly that something isn’t right. Nick, your fiancé, isn’t beside you in bed. He’s not downstairs cooking breakfast. He’s vanished without trace.
That’s when you realise, not all fairytales have happy endings.
Your perfect future is built on lies – on the terrible things that Nick has done.
There’s only so long he can run from his past. His secrets have finally caught up to him.
And now they’re destroying you both...
