HIS FIRST WIFE DIED. NOW THERE'S A VACANCY...
When Emma meets Matthew, a kind, handsome widower, he seems to be just what she needs.
Yet as their relationship moves fast, Emma's friends worry she might be exploited. She's a rich woman after all.
Emma doesn't care Matthew has no money. But as the memory of his perfect first wife hangs over them, Emma does have one tiny doubt.
If Matthew's wife hadn't died, he wouldn't be with her. And Emma wonders if she's second best. Can she ever fill the dead woman's shoes?
As jealousy and suspicion blossom between Emma and Matthew, events take a darker, dangerous turn.
Suddenly Emma doesn't know who she can trust. Her friends? Her husband? Or even herself...?

She did it again
The entire first half of the book basically just said, βI love him. I love him. I just love him so much.β Oh please! But stay with it. The second half gets interesting.
Love it! Easy but good read
The tension never lets up in this psychological thriller. You will become invested in the well drawn characters. The final chapter really packs an unexpected punch.
