  • The perfect marriage. The perfect murder?

FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING PHENOMENON DAUGHTER

A wife who must keep her affair secret.

A husband who has the power to bring her lover down.

A marriage that could end in murder.

Beth was still reeling from the end of her affair the night she met Albie - a man who knows her ex better than anyone, but has no idea of their history.

He's perfectly placed to give Beth the revenge she craves - if only she can keep her secret safe.

But how far is she willing to go?
