To Love a Liar




A heart-pounding and emotional thriller about marriage and deceit, by an R&J selected author.

HUSBAND. LOVER. KILLER?

Policeman Chris Fletcher is a man with secrets. Hiding away in remote Scotland, he awaits the verdict on the death of his undercover target and ex-lover, Sophia Roy. His innocence hangs by a thread, but telling lies is what Chris was trained to do.

With him is his wife, Jillian, loyal to a fault, waiting to find out whether her husband is the man she thought he was. Until one morning, Jillian disappears without a trace.

One woman dead, another missing. A man guilty of a crime, but which one?
