**The perfect marriage. The perfect house. The perfect secret...**

As I step through the cherry-red door of my new home, I know I should feel like the luckiest woman alive. I have a handsome husband, a beautiful daughter and now the house of my dreams. And to everyone else my life looks perfect...

When the neighbours stop by to welcome us, I tell them my name is Stephanie Hamlin and, under the watchful gaze of my husband Richard, I introduce him and our curly haired little girl Poppy. I smile as wide as I can and desperately hope I can fit in to this exclusive place with its pretty communal gardens. Because I've risked everything to be here.

Behind closed doors I try to relax, to unwind in the huge clawfoot bath and forget about my complicated past. It's hard being the new couple on the street when you've got secrets.

**Because the truth is, my charming husband isn't really my husband.**

**And I'm not Stephanie Hamlin...**

**An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the last page. If you love _Behind Closed Doors_, _My Lovely Wife_ and _The Perfect Couple_, you'll be hooked.**
