About this ebook

‘What did I just read?????… A rollercoaster of a ride!… Seriously this book knocked my socks off, leaving me with my jaw hanging open!… Had me in its clutches… Whew!… A wild, fast-paced, and thrilling ride… Gripping!’ Open Book Posts

I know it’s him. He says we’ve never met. Why would he lie?

Her

When I see him, my heart stops dead. I tell myself it’s impossible, but I would recognise those striking pale blue eyes anywhere. It’s him. The high-school boyfriend I adored… Until the day he vanished without a trace.

I run towards him, my pulse racing. He turns, politely, a puzzled look on that familiar face. ‘I’m sorry,’ he says. ‘Do I know you?’

I need answers. I’m certain he’s lying. I just have to prove it.

Him

Of course you recognised me. Always so keen, always trying to do right by everyone.

It’s typical of my bad luck that we happened to run into each other.

I left this place for a reason – one you never knew. And now I’m back, I have plans.

And I’m afraid, my dear, that you’re getting in my way…

A completely gripping story of betrayal, lies and secrets that will have you gripped to every page and open-mouthed at the twists. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and Gillian Flynn.
