Seven Days to Tell You
After three years, her missing husband has returned—but can she ever trust him again?
A bereavement, I called it. A death without a body, a coffin, a note, or a reason. But what do I call it now, now that you’ve come back?
When Kate marries Marc, a wild, sexy Frenchman she meets on holiday, everyone is stunned. But Marc proves to be an adoring and attentive husband—until the morning he goes out and doesn’t come back.
After three years searching for him, Kate tries to start anew without the man she just can’t stop loving. Then one day, she wakes up with Marc asleep in her bed. He asks for seven days to prove his love—and at the end of it, Kate can decide what to do.
But what is she risking by letting Marc back into her life—and when seven days have passed, will she have lost everything?
