We promised forever. But only one of us will leave this marriage alive... I stare at the messages between my husband Rob and another woman, their plans to run away together bringing tears to my eyes as I stand, trembling, in our luxurious apartment. I thought I had the perfect marriage. As our three beautiful children sleep soundly in the next room, I think about our family holidays, our romantic date nights and the day Rob proposed to me. In the last few months, I haven't complained about his late-night meetings or got jealous about his weekends away. I trusted my husband. But now I'm questioning everything. I read the messages again and my world shatters. Because I know this woman. I've let her into my home, where she's bounced my rosy-cheeked baby on her knee. She knows things about me even Rob doesn't know... Then I find a new one from my husband: 'Leave my wife to me. I'll deal with her.' My blood runs cold. He thinks he can get rid of me so easily. He thinks he can just tear apart the life we've built. But when he comes home to his perfect wife tonight, I'll be putting together a plot of my own. His mistress isn't his only secret, and I'll stop at nothing to protect my children and my life... A completely gripping psychological thriller about unthinkable betrayal by those you love the most, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Claire McGowan and The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose.

Only she knows what really happened that night... It was meant to be a time of celebration, of neighbours chatting over sparkling glasses of wine, enjoying the decadent surroundings of the huge mansion house which overlooked all the houses on Laurel Street. But then my troubled friend Gabbie has a heated argument with her husband. She leaves the party and disappears without a trace. Gabbie's neighbours rally round, painfully aware that Laurel Street has already had its share of tragedy. Years ago, when we were children, my best friend Erin vanished, never to be seen again, after having a secret party in the woods with me and Gabbie as our families celebrated the new year. I want Gabbie to be found safe. I need her to come home. Because if she doesn't, I know that all eyes will be on me as they were years ago. But then I discover that my husband Luke was the last person to see Gabbie alive and I'm reminded of all the times I saw them getting close. As much as I pushed it to the back of my mind, I have to ask, can I really trust them? And worse, is someone about to make me pay for the secret I've been keeping for so long? A totally unputdownable and gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist for fans of Lisa Jewell, T.M. Logan and Louise Candlish.
