Elise Marlowe spent three years disappearing. Then the one person who knew her secret paid for it with her life. When her closest friend Nora is found dead — ruled a suicide, though everything about it feels wrong — Elise realizes the danger she fled three years ago has finally caught up. With her own hiding place blown and nowhere left to run, she does the only thing left: she becomes someone who never existed at all. As “Maren Prescott,” she talks her way into Nora’s old job at Corvain Industries — the very company covering up the death that started this nightmare — and begins quietly finishing the case Nora died building. But the deeper she digs, the closer she gets to the man who runs the cover-up, the security chief hunting the witness he doesn’t know is standing in his own office, and a grieving man who’s falling for a woman who doesn’t exist. Every name she’s ever worn has cost her something. This one might cost her everything. BORROWED NAME — a psychological thriller about identity, guilt, and how far we’ll go to finish what someone else died starting.
