Looking out at the crystal clear waters of Sorrento, my heart aches at the loss of the future I'd allowed myself to dream. But Tom's lie is bigger than I could have imagined. How can we survive it? My decision will shatter more than just my own heart. Am I really ready to say the words that will change everything?
It was supposed to be a week of bliss leading to our dream wedding on the Italian coast. But it's obvious our families are against it. My mother questions why Tom has controlled so much of the planning, twisting his generous surprise into something sinister. Tom's daughter, Lily, makes it known she'll never see me as her mother.
Trying to focus on our dream day, I can't help but notice a woman who spends every day at the pool, alone. She seems fascinated by Lily in a way that worries me. When Tom finally locks eyes with her, he immediately pales.
This week should have been the best time of our lives but before our future can begin, Tom will confess a secret that could destroy everything. But he's not the only one who kept a past lie hidden for the sake of happily-ever-after. By the end of the week with both our secrets laid bare, will we really say, 'I do'?
A totally addictive novel about family secrets which will have you turning the pages long into the night. Perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Liane Moriarty and Diane Chamberlain.
