Three years ago, Kieran Vale’s wife died in a yacht explosion. At least, that is what the world believes. The case was closed, DNA confirmed, and evidence sealed away.
But Kieran never accepted it.
Now, on the eve of a reluctant new engagement, a reporter walks into his life, and everything fractures.
Mira Sutton is fearless, sharp, and obsessed with a shipping company tied to that very explosion. She is digging into a truth someone is willing to kill to protect.
The strange part is that she has no memory of her life before three years ago. And she looks exactly like the woman Kieran buried.
Kieran should walk away. Instead, he is drawn to her, especially when she begins asking questions no one else dares to voice.
As they dig deeper, buried files resurface, witnesses vanish, and a powerful network begins to close in around them.
Someone is watching. Someone wants the past to stay dead. And someone knows exactly who Mira really is.
When fragments of Mira’s memory begin to return, Kieran is forced to confront the impossible.
His wife may not have died that night. Or worse, she may be standing right in front of him, without knowing it.
But if Mira is truly the woman he lost, then why was her identity erased? And who is trying to make sure she never remembers?
The truth is closer than either of them realize, and far more dangerous.
Because sometimes, the dead do not stay buried. And sometimes, the woman you are falling for might be the wife you already lost.
