Synopsis

The whole family has gathered to meet the narrator's sister's new boyfriend, and with her husband Seth at her side it should be a happy occasion. But the moment she sees him, her stomach drops. It is Mateo, her worst mistake and her biggest secret, a man she hoped she would never see again.

Looking into his cold green eyes, she knows at once that he is playing a deadly game and that he is dangerous. Yet if she admits who Mateo really is, or what truly happened between them, she stands to lose everything she has built.

Trapped between exposing him and protecting her own life, she is drawn into a tense battle of nerves where every word risks unravelling her carefully kept secret. From a number one bestselling author known for jaw-dropping twists, The Ex Who Came Back is a completely addictive and unputdownable psychological thriller that builds toward a final, hammering reveal.
