Kelly Morgan only wanted to survive another corporate Christmas party.

Then she meets a man she can barely remember, loses hours she cannot explain, and wakes the next afternoon with her phone full of messages from an unknown number.

At first, she tells herself it was alcohol. Stress. A bad night. But the messages keep coming. The memories return in broken pieces. A name slips through the dark. A childhood secret begins to surface. And something starts appearing in reflections, dreams, and the spaces where Kelly’s life once felt safe.

The Other One is a dark psychological suspense novel about memory, identity, family secrets, and the terrifying possibility that what haunts us is not always a stranger.

Sometimes it is the part of ourselves that never got to live.
