I Found You by Lisa Jewell

Alice is a single mum of three children.  One day she looks out of her window and sees a man sitting on the beach in the rain.  Hours later he is still sitting there.  She heads out to the beach with an old coat for him.  He doesn't know where he is or how he got there.  He doesn't even remember his own name.  Alice takes him in and lets him sleep in her converted shed which she sometimes rents out to lodgers.  She tries to help him regain his memory.  

Lily has been married to Carl for three weeks.  She is new to the country and does not yet have any friends.  She is expecting Carl to arrive home from work at 6pm as usual but he does not appear.  She has to wait 24 hours before the police will accept a missing persons report.  When being questioned by the police she realises that she does not know a lot about Carl's life, she has not yet met his mother and does not even know where she lives.  She is frantically searching for Carl, he would not have willingly left her.  The police have taken Carl's passport and find that it is a fake.  Carl Monrose does not exist.
