A couple try to reconnect by getting an implant that allows them to hear each others every thought, but what happens when thoughts turn dark and things turn deadly... A high-concept thriller for fans of Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister, and authors JP Delaney and Sarah Pinborough.

You can hear his every thought. But he can hear yours too...

When Elijah suggests going to OneMind to celebrate their ten-year anniversary, Anna is dubious about getting the implant that will allow them to hear each other’s thoughts. However, she’s eager to please him, and to make up for the fact she can’t give him what he really wants, she agrees to take this step towards the ultimate intimacy.

And at first things are great. Anna feels closer to her husband, and the novelty of communicating mind to mind is a thrill. But then she develops a strange side effect and begins having dreams that aren’t dreams, but memories. Memories that aren’t hers. And if Anna is now seeing Elijah’s memories, what if he can see hers? Will he discover what she's kept buried in her past?

Desperate to keep the truth from her husband, Anna's mind becomes a prison she can't escape. How long can she keep the traitorous thoughts at bay before she drives herself mad?

A clever exploration of toxic relationships, power imbalances, and privacy from an exciting new voice in the high-concept thriller space.

Praise for Always on My Mind

Original and compelling to the extreme - I raced through it

Debbie Howells, author of THE BONES OF YOU

‘Fantastic … the tension was exquisite ... I can’t remember feeling this on edge. It takes real skill to extract that level of emotional reaction from a reader ... Carys Green has pulled it off superbly’

Natalie Chandler, bestselling author of BELIEVE ME NOT

Tapping into my existing paranoia about where technology is headed, Green took my fears of inevitable AI intrusion, fused them with romantic toxicity and thereby eradicated any possibility of sleep. Like a OneMind chip, Always on my Mind got under my skin and refused to let me rest until the story’s end! Utterly chilling.

Amy Beashel, author of SPILT MILK

[An] original, gripping thriller… A book to keep you up all night
