“A brilliant thriller built on paranoia, grief, lust - and the terrifying moment you realize the person you’re letting into your home might be the very thing you should fear.” ★★★★★
— reader review
Last night I was grieving. Today I am a headline.
When my husband’s body washed up on a remote riverbank, the media swarmed. They called it an accident. Then a scandal. Then they called me a suspect. So I disappeared.
New state. New life. New tenant.
Jake is everything Matthew wasn’t—kind, protective, and dangerously magnetic. Our connection ignites fast, blurring every line I swore I’d never cross. Until strange things start happening… Matthew’s cufflink appears on my kitchen counter. The wedding photo I destroyed shows up on my nightstand. Someone is watching me.
And now a woman is missing—a woman asking questions about Matthew. As the past claws its way back, I’m forced to confront the unthinkable:
Who, exactly, is the man sleeping in my bed?
