He promised me forever. Six days before the wedding, I opened a suitcase that wasn’t mine.
Ivy is marrying into money. The wedding is at the family estate, deep in the frozen Surrey Hills: no phone signal, no neighbours, just Stephen’s controlling mother and a family who hunt for sport and watch their guest like she is the entertainment.
Then Ivy unpacks and finds the outfit a woman called Charlotte Walker was wearing the week she vanished. Six days until the wedding, and the bride already wants to run.
