From #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Intruder!

How can you survive when you can't remember who wants you dead?

Dr. Charly McKenna had the perfect life: a thriving dermatology practice, a luxury apartment overlooking Central Park, and a handsome husband who adored her.

Until the night a bullet tore through her skull… and stole everything.

Now Charly wakes in a rehabilitation hospital unable to walk, speak, or remember her own name. All she knows is that someone tried to kill her―and they may still be out there. As fragments of memory surface, so do unsettling questions about the people around her, including the attentive man who keeps appearing at her bedside.

The truth of what happened that night lives somewhere inside her brain. And as Charly pieces together the jagged edges of her past, she begins to realize the most terrifying possibility: the person who wants her dead might be the one she once trusted most.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Freida McFadden comes a scalpel-sharp psychological thriller about fractured memory, buried secrets, and how far the mind will go to protect you from the truth.

    💛 More Than Just a Bookstore

    When you shop at Flirting With Fiction, you’re doing more than buying a book—you’re helping us deliver hope.

    A portion of every sale goes directly to Fun With Fiction, our nonprofit that brings the power of story to children facing trauma, loss, or major life changes. Through our Book Buddy program, we create hand-picked book packages tailored to each child’s age, interests, and unique situation.

    It’s not just a box of books. It’s a message that says: you matter, you are not alone, and your story is still being written.
