My Secret Ex
Synopsis
When the narrator meets Dermot, it finally feels like time to move on from a troubled past. He is funny, charming and handsome, the kind of man the narrator believes they deserve. But an earlier relationship with Carlton, though over for years, has never been easy to forget, particularly given how it ended.
The narrator has worked hard to keep Dermot from ever learning about Carlton, convinced it is safer that way. As the new relationship deepens, however, the past begins to intertwine with the present, and the secret ex stops being a secret at all.
Suddenly everyone is in danger, the narrator, their son and their new partner alike, as old history forces its way back into a life that was meant to be a fresh start. A fast-paced, twist-filled psychological thriller, My Secret Ex turns a hidden relationship into a slow-burning threat that puts an entire household at risk.
