He was a firefighter. A devoted father. A loving partner. Or so Coleen believed.
When Coleen Greenwood met James Scott online, he seemed to be everything she could have hoped for. A firefighter and father of two, he was charming, romantic and devoted to his family. Before long, he had become part of hers.
But James had a secret.
The man Coleen loved did not exist.
Behind the firefighter's uniform was an extraordinary web of lies involving invented relatives, false identities, fabricated messages and carefully constructed stories designed to make an ordinary man appear to be someone else entirely.
By the time the truth began to emerge, Coleen had built a life with him, had a child with him and was planning their future together.
What followed was a devastating search for answers that would expose the extraordinary scale of his deception and eventually lead to Durham Crown Court.
Written by Coleen Greenwood with her twin sister Karen Crear, Playing With Fire is the astonishing true story of one family's experience of betrayal, manipulation and survival, and of the strength it takes to rebuild a life after discovering that the person you loved was never who you thought he was.
Some lies hide the truth. His created an entire life.
