A RADIO 2 Book Club Pick. A Woman & Home Book of the Month.  A Prima Book of the Month

Saoirse has everything she ever dreamed of: a beautiful home, two precious daughters, and Daithí - the man who loves her with a quiet, loyal fierceness that still catches her off guard.

To everyone who knows her, she's living a charmed life. But Saoirse has built her future on a lie. When her latest art exhibition unexpectedly wins a major award, the attention is instant and overwhelming - interviews, national headlines.

And with every spotlight pointed her way, Saoirse feels the walls closing in. Because the woman that everyone is celebrating doesn't actually exist. She's an invention.

A disguise. And the past she's running from has just found her again. Now, with the life she's created slipping through her fingers, Saoirse must decide how far she'll go to protect the man she loves and the family she never believed she could have.

Some secrets don't stay buried, and this one could cost her everything.
