I love my husband so much. But what's going to happen to us? I can't even say the words to him because I'm too afraid of the answer.

We're about to lose everything. Our home. Our company. Our reputation. We have no power over our own lives.

So when I meet a stranger, I'm willing to listen to what he's got to say.

'I genuinely want to help you, ' he says, 'What I want from you at this moment is for you to be my companion when I ask.'

But nothing in life is that simple.

'It's best if it stays just between you and me. And it's best if your husband doesn't know. I imagine you understand why.'

It's the only offer I've got. And desperation does funny things to a person.

So I accept his proposal.

Perfect for fans of B.A. Paris, Valerie Keogh, Lisa Hall, Nicola Sanders Jane E. James or The Silent Patient.
