The idea for this book book came to me in a sort of unexpected way...


I was reminiscing about an old friend who I lost touch with  years ago. The thought of what could have happened to her has always haunted me.


And you know when someone randomly pops into your head and the suddenly you hear from them right after? 


Well, that's just what happened to me...


I honestly thought there would be a logical explanation after so many years going by without a word...


I wish I had been wrong about that.


As many of you know, my love for writing comes from a place of exploring the complexities of human relationships and the secrets we keep from one another.


It got me thinking about how well we really know the people closest to us and what secrets might be lurking beneath the surface.


Writing this book was an intense journey. There were moments where I felt the protagonist's fear, her doubt, and her desperate need to protect her family. It made me question the very nature of trust and how fragile our sense of security can be.


Is the past really ever left in the past?

My best friend disappeared twenty years ago. I thought she was dead. But today I’ve received a message that makes my heart stop. It says it’s from Izzy. And she’s blaming my new husband for her disappearance…

I stare at the email in horror. I’ve only just managed to put what happened to Izzy behind me. My life is so different now. I have two perfect children, and the perfect husband at last.

“I couldn’t just say nothing. You remember I was being stalked? My stalker is your husband. You're in danger. Run.”

My blood turns to ice as I look up at my charming, caring husband. Is this some kind of joke? Griffin is kind, he's safe.

But as he smiles at me, the doubt starts to creep in. The way he always asks me about my childhood, pressing for information about my friends. The way he always wants to know where I am…

I thought my best friend was dead. I thought her stalker killed her.

If the email isn’t really from Izzy, then who sent it—and what do they want from my family? But if it is, am I living with the man I’ve feared for twenty years? And if he can’t hurt Izzy, will he settle for me instead—or worse, my children…?
