My Duplicated Husband

What do you do when the man you just buried shows up with an anniversary gift? That's the nightmare Esther wakes up to. For five years, her marriage to Carl was a prison of cruelty, betrayal, and the devastating loss of their daughter. On their anniversary, a violent struggle ends with Carl dead. In shock, Esther buries him in the backyard, desperate for it to be over.

But the next morning, he's there. Alive. Unharmed. And worst of all—he's kind. This Carl is attentive and loving, the ghost of the boy she fell for in high school. He has no memory of the affairs, the abuse, or the tragedy. Shattered evidence has been restored, and he fiercely protects her from the mistress who helped destroy their lives. The story offers no easy answers, only a chilling dilemma: if this isn't the man she buried, who is he? And if he is, how can he be both a stranger and her husband? By the end of the night, the body she buried is gone—and the police have just found someone in the river.
