The New Wife: The BRAND NEW unputdownable domestic thriller from Gemma Rogers for 2026
About this audiobook
When the man you marry isn’t who he claims to be...
After a whirlwind romance and a dream beachside wedding, Lucy Brightman returns home brimming with hope for her future. But as the honeymoon glow fades, small cracks begin to show. Life quickly shifts into something far darker, and Lucy finds herself trapped in a controlling, abusive marriage with her husband, David.
As the illusion of marital bliss crumbles, David tightens his grip using his wealth to control Lucy by funding the care of her critically ill mother, ensuring she cannot leave their marriage.
Then, one night, David fails to return home for an important dinner with a business partner - something utterly out of character. With his phone going straight to voicemail, Lucy reluctantly contacts his London workplace. What she learns shatters everything she thought she knew.
Was her marriage a lie from the very beginning?
