the true story of a husband's ultimate betrayal

When Mary met Will Jordan online, she was a single mother who'd given up trying to find Mr Right. And yet here he suddenly was: articulate and attractive, with a fascinating background. Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will's work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world. And then one day the phone rang, and a woman introduced herself as 'the other Mrs Jordan'... In this raw account of deception on a grand scale, Mary Turner Thomson recounts what happened after she discovered every word he'd said, from the very first moment, was a lie. This is her painful, humiliating truth, but she tells it for one reason: she too was once a strong, independent woman who would have read all this and thought It could never happen to me..
