You fell for him. You shouldn’t have…

I walk up the steps into the marble hall. I’m in a beautiful dress, a fake smile fixed on my face. The ceremony will start soon. I’m pretending everything is fine.

I think back to how it started. The handsome stranger I met one night, charming and vulnerable, his brown eyes fixed on me like they saw right through me.

I know now that our meeting was no coincidence. But I could never have dreamed how far he would go, and how powerless I would be to stop him.

So I will get through today. The vows, the photos, the cake.

And then I will do what I must to protect my family…

A completely unputdownable psychological thriller about family, revenge, and how far people will go to protect the ones they love. From the bestselling author of The Dinner Guest, The Handsome Stranger is perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.
