Blog Tour - The Husband before you

 

Publication date 1st April 2025
About the Book

I thought my first husband died ten years ago. But now he’s back…

Opening the front door, I’m stunned to see a familiar face. I never thought I’d see Freddie’s deep brown eyes and crooked smile again. But how is this possible when he died ten years ago…?

It took years to move on, but finally my life is almost perfect. I live in a gorgeous house with my handsome second husband Carter, my two daughters and our adorable baby boy. I’ve never stopped missing Freddie or wondering what happened to him. But now he’s here and staring right at me – and my head is spinning with questions.

Then Freddie says, ‘Don’t trust Carter.’ It sends shivers down my spine. Freddie and Carter used to be best friends. So what does he mean? Carter has been my shoulder to cry on, my rock. He’s helped me through the darkest times. I trust him with my life… don’t I?

Who is telling the truth: my first husband or my second husband? And could one of them be behind the threatening notes I’ve been receiving?

I have to make the right choice. My life depends on it…

An absolutely addictive page-turner with heart-pounding twists from beginning to end. Fans of The Woman in the Window, Shari Lapena, Lisa Jewell and The Housemaid won’t be able toput this down!

My Review
Be prepared because once you pick this up you will not be able to put it down. I was hooked. I was desperate to find out what was happening. The suspense in this book will have you gripped. I was scared what was going to happen. Absolutely fantastic! I will definitely be recommending this one!

Blog Tour - Don’t Trust Him

 

Publication date 3rd April 2025

About the Book

His ex is missing. Am I next?

Charlie takes my breath away from the moment we meet, when he is dropping his adorable little girls off at the school gates at the same time as I’m waving goodbye to my son. Being a single mother has been hard. So when his gorgeous green-blue eyes hold mine and his lips curve into a smile I wonder if this is my chance to find happiness and escape the secrets in my past.

Charlie and I connect on the deepest level – talking late into the night in the stunning home his mother Alice gave him. For a long time, it’s been me and my seven-year-old son Liam against the world but soon I’m falling for this handsome man. He promises to be honest with me and, in my gut, I trust him.

As he gives me a lift to work one morning, Charlie shares his heartbreak: his ex-wife found another man, abandoned her daughters and never looked back. That’s why Alice finds it so hard to accept me, the new woman in her precious son’s life. I hope I can win her over, and that she’ll never find out the truth about what I did…

Then I discover his ex-wife Lynn’s journal hidden away in his house with a sapphire ring and a silk scarf. My stomach twists as I sense something is very wrong.

When someone walks into the room behind me, my heart plummets and I turn to face them. I think something awful happened to Lynn. But who is telling the truth – my new boyfriend, his ex-wife or his mother? And can I escape with my precious son before it is too late?

A nail-biting page-turner with a gasp-out-loud reveal. Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, K.L. Slater and Jackie Kabler.

My Review

What an extremely gripping read. This had me on the edge of my seat. I was frightened for Sarah, I dreaded what was going to happen next for her. I had to keep reading I couldn’t put this down, I needed to know if Sarah was going to be ok. 

Absolutely full of twists you will definitely not see them coming. My heart was pounding so hard in fear. 

Once you pick this up you will be hooked!
