I’m the lone survivor of a brutal attack that left my two best friends dead. We were just kids. Girls. Babies, really.

Not only had I survived what the two closest people to me hadn’t, but I’d been pulled into a terrifying game of cat and mouse as their killer vowed to finish the job he started…with me.

The years that followed turned me into a woman who was terrified to live life. Go figure.

I left my apartment just enough to escape a diagnosis of agoraphobia. I’m woken by nightmares of black, soulless eyes, and a promise that he’ll find me. Come for me. Steal my life…

I search the internet for similar crimes when sleep just won’t come. Big mistake.

I can’t unsee what I find, and it’s not long before I find myself moved once again. This time to the kind of town where dreams are made, bracketed by an unending range of mountains. The man in charge of my protection is unlike any I’ve ever known. I haven’t known a lot of men…

Jax is a lot of man. I thought I would be afraid of the power he holds, but I’m not. I feel safe with him, and as the days go by, my body begins to experience an awareness for him I’ve never felt.

After spending my life in isolation, I’m finally living.

I can’t help but wonder what it might feel like to be loved by a man.

Even as another hunts me.
