I’m standing in the kitchen of our empty apartment, still in my ivory wedding dress. He’s taken all his things. The only clue he left behind is a half-finished, crumpled letter to me in the trash: “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to write…”
I’ve been dreaming of my wedding to Finn since the moment he proposed: confetti and love in the air, champagne glasses held high, dancing into the future with the man I love. It should have been the happiest day of our lives. But he’s not waiting for me at the altar. He never arrives, and my heart breaks in two.
Everyone says Finn just got cold feet, but I know he’d never abandon me. And yet, as I look for him, I can’t help but question my own memories: was our first date as perfect as it seemed? Were the nights spent dancing around the apartment as happy for him as they were for me? Has the man I love been keeping secrets from me all along?
For six days, I search frantically for Finn, even as doubt creeps in. How long can my heart hold on to hope that our love story isn’t over? And when I find out the truth, will it heal the past or break me forever?
An emotional and uplifting novel about love, heartbreak and the power of hope from the bestselling author of Always You and Me. Perfect for fans of Shari Low, Colleen Hoover and Paige Toon.
When Gemma Fletcher is stood up at the altar, everyone seems ready to pile the blame on Finn Douglas.
Author Dani Atkins delivers a heart-rending story about a woman who refuses to believe her fiancé purposely vanished. Six Days highlights both the past and present as Gemma tries to find answers.
As the evidence mounts regarding a planned disappearance, including missing money and drafts of a letter to her, the story shifts to fill in background information about how the couple met.
All it takes is one clue to turn the tide from despair to hope, leading to a powerful revelation that changes the course of the story.
Six Days illustrates the importance of staying focused in spite of distractions.
Dani was born and brought up in Cockfosters- a small London suburb at the end of the Piccadilly Tube Line.
This served her well for commuting into the city, where from the age of 18 she worked in a succession of secretarial positions in companies as diverse as a BMW car dealership to the BBC. Dani spent her two hour commute avidly reading and dreamed that one day she would become an author herself.
When her two children grew up and left home, Dani set about turning this dream into reality and devoted her time to writing. She now lives in a rural Hertfordshire cottage with her husband, a soppy border collie dog and a haughty Siamese cat.
