From the New York Times bestselling author of Ghosted comes a love story wrapped in a mystery: an all-night page-turner with a dark secret at its core.

Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she would do anything for them. But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie.

And she might have gotten away with it, if it weren't for her husband's work. Leo is an obituary writer; Emma, ​​a renowned marine biologist. When she falls seriously ill, Leo tries to cope with it by doing what he does best: researching and writing about his wife's life. But as he begins to uncover the truth, he discovers that the woman he loves doesn't exist. Not even her name is real. When the darkest moments of Emma's past are exposed, she must somehow prove to Leo that she's the woman he's always thought she was... but first, she must tell him about the other love of her life.
