As I watch Darren bury his wife's body in the backyard, I know I need to act fast. I'm going to be her replacement. He'll never know what's coming...
The next day, I smile down at Darren in bed next to me. When he wakes up, I'm going to tell him I'm his new wife. I'll keep this beautiful house clean and host the most fabulous dinner parties.
He'll wonder what's going on. He'll wonder how I got into his house. We both know I'm not really his wife. But he will never be able to get rid of me.
Before she died, I watched Britt and Darren for longer than I care to admit. I knew her favorite white wine. I know Darren's weekly tee time. I also know about the cheating. And the lies they told each other on their wedding day...
You might think I'm a woman in love, obsessed with someone else's husband.
Or you might think I'm here to avenge Britt's death.
All I know is, handsome and powerful men like Darren think they can get away with anything.
But he's so, so wrong...
A totally gripping psychological thriller that will keep you up all night! The Fake Wife is perfect for fans of The Perfect Marriage, John Marrs and Freida McFadden.
