Sam Stewart has escaped her abusive husband, taken him to court and seen him sent to prison. But Nelson leaves her with a promise: he will find her, however long it takes. Given a new identity, Sam becomes Mary Smith and tries to build a life beyond his reach. The change of name cannot erase what she knows about him, and his imprisonment offers less reassurance than it should. As the threat follows her into her new life, she is drawn into a dangerous game of concealment and revenge in which appearances cannot be trusted. This standalone suspense novel centres on survival after an abusive marriage, the limits of a fresh start and the fear of being found.
