Mine: A Novel of Obsession

A divorce lawyer risks her career, her sanity—and possibly her life—when she falls in love with a client: “Engrossing . . . An impeccably paced plot.” —Publishers Weekly

Francine Day has methodically built her career doing everything right. She’s one big case away from securing her place among London’s legal elite. But when she meets a new client, Martin Joy, the natural caution that’s protected Francine and fueled her rise melts away. Powerless to fight the magnetism between them, client and counsel tumble into a blistering affair that breaks every rule.

Though Martin insists his marriage is over, Francine doesn’t believe him. Certain details don’t quite add up. Consumed with a passion she can’t control and increasingly obsessed with Martin’s relationship with his wife, Donna, Francine follows the woman one night . . . and discovers her having dinner with her supposedly estranged husband.

The next morning, Francine awakens in her neighbor’s apartment with blood on her clothes and no recollection of what transpired after she spied the couple together. Then she receives devastating news: Martin’s wife has vanished. That dinner was the last place anyone saw Donna alive.

What happened that night and why can’t Francine remember? Where is Donna and who is responsible for her disappearance? The further Francine goes to find answers, the tighter the net seems to draw—around her lover, herself, and the life she’s meticulously built . . .

“Taut, sinister, clever, with dark and delicious twist coiled in its heart.” —S.K. Tremayne, author of The Ice Twins

“A thrilling exploration of obsession, love, professional duty and personal trauma. Few books are worthy of a 4 am finish, Mine is definitely one of them.” —Caz Frear, author of Five Bad Deeds
