FOUND YOU

When Morgan's obsessive surveillance of Yener leads her to witness him murder his fiancée, she makes the one choice that will finally force them together — she secretly covers it up

Socially awkward, Morgan lives by rules. Trained to believe that relationships only lead to hurt, she keeps people at a distance. Until one rainy day, Yener offers Morgan his umbrella at the bus stop, and it’s love at first sight. Six years later when he stops being a part of her life, Morgan doesn’t move on. She waits.

Two years on, Morgan still can’t put away their framed photos in her sad London flat. When she meets Daniel at a bar one night and ends up back at his house, she discovers his garden backs directly onto Yener’s house. From his window, she can watch Yener’s life unfold. Morgan plants herself into Daniel’s life to stay close to Yener, determined to engineer the perfect reunion and stop anyone from getting in the way of her and Yener’s future together.

After witnessing Yener carelessly dispose of his dead fiancée’s body in a bin, Morgan faces an impossible choice: walk away and lose him forever, knowing he’ll be arrested, or secretly step in and ensure he gets away with it. Choosing him risks her freedom, but intoxicatingly, it will bind him to her in a way nothing else ever could. 

As Morgan works to protect Yener and dismantle the life he’s built without her, she unexpectedly begins to break the rules and let people in. For the first time, she forms real friendships, ones that force her to question everything she was taught about love and safety. If she falls, she won’t just lose Yener or her freedom. She’ll lose the first real life she’s ever accidentally built, and proof that she was worthy of having one all along.

Perfect for fans of None Of This Is True (Lisa Jewell) and Strange Sally Diamond (Liz Nugent). If Joe Goldberg and Eleanor Oliphant had an adult child, it would be Morgan.
