Description

Carrie thought she had experienced the love story of a lifetime.

In 2010, while working as a surgical intern in Thailand, she fell head-over-heels for Johan. Their connection was immediate, intense, and all-consuming. Just five months after meeting, they impulsively married on a beautiful beach surrounded by paradise.

Then everything fell apart.

On the night of their wedding, armed men stormed the beach and arrested Johan for unknown crimes. Taken into custody, he refused to see Carrie or explain what had happened.

She never saw him again.

Twelve years later, Carrie has built a new life in the English countryside with her husband, Robin, and their young twins. She has convinced herself that the past is firmly behind her.

Until one shocking discovery changes everything.

Johan is no longer in prison.

And apparently, he hasn't been for years.

Unable to let go of the questions that have haunted her for over a decade, Carrie becomes obsessed with uncovering the truth about the man she once loved and the secrets hidden behind the most important day of her life.

But the deeper she digs, the more she realizes that everyone involved—including herself—may be hiding something.

Part love story, part mystery, and packed with Rosie Walsh's signature twists, The One Day You Were My Husband explores first love, second chances, secrets, and the impossible question of whether you can ever truly leave the past behind.
