Publisher's summary

Appearances can be deceiving...

After a whirlwind romance and three years of marriage, I’d tried to be a good wife.

But Tom, my husband, is always watching, controlling my every move. He chooses my clothes, my hairstyle, even instructing what and how much I’m allowed to eat – just ten measly mouthfuls.

I’ve become isolated from those I love, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfil his every whim.

My identity along with my life is long gone.

I am slowly suffocating but I know Tom will never, ever let me leave alive.

A chance encounter with Savannah changes everything. Tom couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. Could she be my saviour?

Could my husband’s desire for another woman be the answer to my prayers, to my freedom?

Bestseller Gemma Rogers is back with another gripping, page-turning thriller. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.

So good!

I was infuriated at the weakness of this woman. She was pathetic. I couldn’t help but like her though. I finished this book in a day. Couldn’t stop listening. I’m hard to please and this one lived up to its rating. I very much enjoyed it and didn’t want it to end.

Best book I've listened to in a long while.

Best book I've listened to in a long while. Had hints of, "Behind Closed Doors". Finished in two days in spite of working full time. Speeding up the narration speed to 1.10 is best.

I read in one sitting!

I wish I could afford to hire Imogen Church to narrate all the books I want to read. Good read, Imogen and Gemma pair nicely together.

Saved by Grace and Truth.

It true we have not even begun to expose the depths of the psychological, societal , attack and war that is still being raged against women.
I really liked the ending- that made my day. I of course hated the offender and everything that gos with that. I see people criticizing the process of how she handled him. It did come off as weak but I think it shows how just letting go and doing her best , saying focused and let her own spirit guide her that worked out for her in the end. True to life. With grace and a friend or two miracles can happen.
