I came to look after his children. Now he says I’m his fiancée.
When I see the advert, I tell myself it’s the fresh start I need. Live-in nanny. A single father. Two young children. A remote farmhouse deep in the Peak District, far from everything I’ve lost.
My new employer Edward seems nice. He tries hard to be a good dad. The children warm to me. For the first time since my partner died, I begin to feel useful.
Then the snow comes. The roads close. The internet goes down. And I wake with an injured ankle, a bandage around my head, and no memory of what happened.
Edward says I fell while we were hiking. He says the concussion has damaged my memory. He says I haven’t just arrived at his house. I’ve been living here for months.
There’s an engagement ring on my finger. Photographs I don’t remember taking. And everyone in the house behaves as though Edward is telling the truth. But I know who I am. So why does he think I belong to him?
A gripping, unputdownable psychological thriller perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, B.A. Paris, Shalini Boland and T.M. Logan.
