Is a marriage worth saving - whatever the cost?

Ruby didn't plan to have an affair. She doesn't love her husband, but wouldn't set out to steal someone else's. Yet when she met Harry they simply couldn't keep apart. Now, she's brave enough to leave her marital home and start again, and so is Harry. Or so she thinks.

Waiting at a hotel for her lover to arrive, Ruby realises she has made a mistake. Harry won't come. He will never leave his wife.

What Ruby hasn't worked out is that someone else knows all about the affair. They have been watching Ruby's every move. They are determined to punish her. And they are even closer than she thinks...

Don't miss this taut and gripping novel packed with edge-of-your-seat tension and a tale of love that goes badly wrong, perfect for fans of Shalini Boland and Lisa Hall.
