“A twisty, heart-pounding, cancel-all-your-plans read.”—Real Simple
“A heart-wrenching love story and a mystery that shocks and surprises until the very end.”—Clare Leslie Hall, New York Times bestselling author of Broken Country
From the New York Times–bestselling author of Ghosted and The Love of My Life comes an unmissable emotional thriller: an up-all-night, page-turning love story with a very dark secret at its heart.
Carrie and Johan marry on a beach in Thailand only months into their whirlwind romance. Carrie, a British surgical intern, is too happy to care that she’s being impulsive. But as the wedding festivities stretch into the night, a group of armed men suddenly swarm the beach, taking Johan away. She never sees him again.
Twelve years later, Carrie is living in the English countryside with her husband, Robin, and their six-year-old twins, running a holiday cottage rental business on the side. She has finally found peace. The past is a closed book.
Until she sees his face on a computer screen. Johan is alive. He has a new life. And he never tried to find her.
As the memories of their passionate relationship flood her, Carrie becomes obsessed with discovering what happened on their wedding day all those years ago.
But just when Carrie thinks she knows what she must do, a shocking twist tears apart everything she thought she knew. The One Day You Were My Husband asks readers what—and whom—they would give up to return to a first love and to the people they once were.
