The story

On her tenth wedding anniversary, Elena Jarvis notices that the man embracing her is not her husband. The back of his neck is smooth and bare, missing the maroon birthmark Nathan Jarvis was born with, and his hands are calloused in ways a privileged man's never were. In his suit she finds a blood-crusted silver pendant that vanished the night of Nathan's car accident ten years ago.

Searching Nathan's locked college belongings, Elena finds a yearbook photo of Nathan with his best friend Kevin Prescott, and a warning scrawled on the back: if something happens to him, find Andrew Nelson. The lawyer has suspected the truth for a decade, and warns her that Kevin now controls the Jarvis Group. Without proof, exposing him would be fatal.

Elena must keep playing the devoted wife inside her own home, smiling for the stranger in her bed, while she hunts for the evidence that will answer the question she cannot stop asking: is her real husband alive or dead?

Opening

Have you ever wondered if the person sharing the bed with you every night—the one you've been passionately tangled with—isn't actually who you married?

On our tenth wedding anniversary, Nathan pressed me against the floor-to-ceiling windows. His burning lips traced my collarbone, his calloused hands gentle yet commanding as they stole the breath from my lungs.

"Happy tenth anniversary, baby."

But my body wouldn't stop trembling, my stomach turning inside out.
