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
