Amnesia Not

What if forgetting your marriage was the only way to escape it?

After a serious car accident, JoAnn Calloway wakes in a hospital with an unexpected opportunity.

Her memory is perfectly intact.

But when her controlling husband, Frank, walks into the room, JoAnn looks at him and asks the question that could change the rest of her life:

"Who are you?"

Doctors believe JoAnn is suffering from post-traumatic amnesia. Frank believes his wife has forgotten eleven years of marriage. And JoAnn allows them both to believe it.

What begins as a desperate lie becomes her path to freedom.

Living alone for the first time in years, JoAnn slowly rediscovers the woman she had allowed to disappear-her preferences, her independence, her friendships, and eventually the possibility of love with someone new.

But escaping Frank is one thing. Fooling him is another.

As JoAnn carefully stages the gradual return of her memory, Frank begins testing her with false details from their past. Then she notices someone following her. Her husband is no longer waiting patiently for her memories to return.

He is hunting for proof that they never disappeared.

Now JoAnn must stay one step ahead of the man who knows her better than anyone, while building the legal and medical record she needs to escape him permanently. One mistake could expose everything-not only to Frank, but to her doctors, her employer, the courts, and the man she has fallen in love with.

Because the lie that gave JoAnn her freedom has become the one secret that could take everything away.

A gripping psychological suspense novella about coercive control, identity, deception, marriage, and the dangerous price of reclaiming your own life. Perfect for readers who enjoy domestic suspense, psychological thrillers, strong female protagonists, and stories where the greatest threat may be the person who knows you best.
