case, but the escalating violence against Rachel convinces him he doesn’t have
much time. Whoever is watching Rachel wants her dead. Mike and Rachel race to
untangle a web of deceit and lies that stretches twenty-five years into the
past—before her stalker strikes again.

Officer Ethan Hale pulls Abby Foster from icy waters, he senses there’s more to

moved to the mountains of Pennsylvania for a fresh start, but when it becomes
clear that this car crash wasn’t an accident, she knows the violence from her
past has caught up with her.
But Abby’s former
assailant was convicted and imprisoned, so who else wants her
dead?
Ethan uncovers a fresh
string of murders tied to Abby’s past. Someone is trying to kill her, and this
time the stalker seems determined to finish the task. As the killer grows
bolder, Abby begins to trust Ethan enough to share the truth, her heart, and her
life. But to stop the murders, Ethan must make a decision that could jeopardize
it all.
