The life she stole

By Laura Courtie

Morgan thought the worst was behind her. She survived David, the lies, the charm and the quiet control no one else ever saw. She rebuilt her life in a peaceful Scottish village with a husband who loves her and children who feel safe.

But some women don't forgive.

When Melinda moves to town, Morgan feels it instantly, the forced smiles, the subtle mimicry and the way she inserts herself into Morgan's friendships and edges closer to her husband. Then the rumours start.

Morgan is "struggling."
Her marriage is "under strain."
She's "not herself."

And when she collapses after a girls' night, the doubt becomes dangerous. Because Melinda isn't just a new friend. She's the woman David once promised everything to. The mistress who believed Morgan stole her future.

Now she's back and she intends to take it.

As Morgan's life is dismantled piece by piece, she must fight not just for her marriage, but for her sanity and prove she isn't paranoid before it's too late. Because the other woman doesn't want closure. She wants replacement.

A gripping domestic psychological thriller about betrayal, obsession, and the woman who refuses to be erased.
