Series throughout February.
She’s faking her amnesia to fool a very real killer.
It all
started with the bereavement flowers with my name on them.
Not the
best way to wake up, right? I work in a flower shop. I know a funeral
arrangement when I see one.
I know a
killer when I see one, too. And one is standing in my hospital room right now,
straight behind the man who saved my life.
I can’t
tell anyone the truth, because that’s the fastest way to really die. So I do
the next best thing. I “lose” my memory.
I fake
my amnesia.
Pretending
not to remember a brutal attempted murder has its perks. The killer is backing
down, spending less time around me, loosening the noose.
The less
I claim to recall, the more my rescuer, Duff, works to help me “remember.” I
hate lying to him.
But he
doesn’t understand that my memory is dangerous. To me. And to him.
Fooling
everyone isn’t easy. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Except
it’s starting to look like I’ve been fooling myself.
In more
ways than one.
The
False Trilogy includes False Hope and False Start.

EXCERPT
Blink.
I open
my eyes. It’s light.
“Can
you believe it, Lily?” a woman says to me. “It looks like Bosworth is going to
win! When people ask you who the president is, you’re going to have to remember
the new one. President Harwell Bosworth. Of course, we won’t know for sure
until late tonight, but I’ll keep you posted. I’ll keep you posted, sweetie,”
she says as she adjusts the IV in my right arm, the one that burns whenever they
start a new bag of medicine.
“When
the doctor asks you who the president is, you’ll have the right answer. I know you
will. I don’t care how long you’ve been like this. The doctors are wrong.
Plenty of people have come out of this after more than a year. I know you’re
going to be one of them. My Lily is a fighter.”
She
squeezes my hand.
I
almost squeeze back. Almost. So close.
I look
to the left. A dark man. No–dark clothes. Dark hair. Pale skin peeking out
under it all. Someone has something on my head and tape pulls at the corner of
my eye. Blinking is harder. It hurts, like someone weakened the tender skin
under my eyes. I close my eyes.
Open
them.
“Hey
there, Lily,” a nurse says. I try to look over at her but can’t. Eyes hurt.
Close
eyes.
Open
them.
The
man.
Oh,
God, I know that man.

Reviews and
Endorsements for Meli Raine Books:
“The first book in the False trilogy is a psychological
thriller worthy of Hitchcock, keeping you guessing until the very end.” — Apple
Books Editors
“…intrigue and dark humor on display in this thriller…”
While the immediate—and more compelling—tension in Raine’s (A Shameless Little Bet, 2018, etc.)
heart-pumping series opener comes from Lily’s constant proximity to her
would-be killer, the action takes place against a backdrop of secret government
scandals. The “screwed-up D.C.-insider scandal,” as it is clumsily summarized
early on, is pleasingly twisty…
Fortunately, Lily’s voice is captivating, wry, and tough
enough to sell this thriller. The novel ends with a cliffhanger that startles,
if only because readers will have become so attached to Lily.
— Kirkus Reviews
“Fresh, riveting, and thrumming with emotion and romantic
suspense, False Memory is absolutely unputdownable. You need this book!” – New York Times bestselling author Meghan
