What to expect
Could she be my husband’s secret daughter?
Rose’s birthday party was everything I could have dreamed of; she adored her unicorn cake and balloons, and the surprise of her whole class arriving to celebrate. And now all the parents and children have left, I can finally relax—and find out exactly why my husband, Phil, disappeared halfway through. But who is the little girl still perched at our dining room table?
My daughter says she doesn’t know her.
The child’s eyes fix on the family photo in front of her. Her fingers reach out to caress Phil’s dark hair beside mine and Rose’s golden locks.
And then I realize. She looks just like him.
Years ago, my husband made a terrible mistake. And when I finally face up to the secrets he’s hidden, will it tear our family apart?
A breathtaking, twisty, and emotional page-turner perfect for fans of Linda Green, Liane Moriarty, and Amanda Prowse.
