Publisher's summary

Everything he knows about his wife is called into question when she mysteriously vanishes in a breathtaking novel of suspense by Amazon Charts bestselling author Chad Zunker.

Widower Luke Driskell didn’t expect to fall in love and marry again so quickly. But Ashley and her daughter, Joy, are special—a quality borne out when Ashley rushes into a burning day-care center to save the children. Immediately she’s a social media sensation and hero. Then, just as suddenly, Ashley and Joy disappear into the bitterly cold night.

With no trace of their whereabouts, Luke begins a panicked investigation. Alarmingly, he can find no proof that the woman he loves even exists. Left behind: just a hidden stash of fake IDs. Different names. Different cities. Same haunted face. Now the devastated husband has only questions: Who did he marry? What is she hiding?

Luke’s cross-country pursuit of the truth soon spins into something more dangerous than he imagined. Because Ashley’s secrets run so deep and dark that finding her could threaten all their lives.

Great story but the author has an annoying habit

This was a captivating story with a lot of twist and turns. However, the author uses the word “so” far too often. They were so happy, they were so afraid, they were so excited, they were so careful, etc.

Great Story

A true love story with a lot of mysteries and twists. There were times when it almost became too dark. but then there was a twist that gave you hope again.

Excellent story flow!

Story was well told, no incredible possibility gaps as you find in some stories. Recommend for anyone looking for a "can't put it down" book!

Very intriguing

I was caught up in the story from the beginning. Twists and turns and not predictable as to what would happen next. I’d recommend as a “keep your attention “ book.

Hoo Boy

Mr Zunker is a new to me author. This was a wild meandering story. It’s like I was placed on Luke’s shoulder and went along for the ride. Learning all the crazy and whacked out things that happened to Ashley, Amy, Kristin, Laura, and Maggie.

Very poor unbelievable ending. So many other better ways that this story could have ended.

Good book

A nice surprise. Though the plot is way out there it’s good enough to keep you interested. Good suspense for a rainy week.
