Her fresh start was his perfect opportunity.
After years of enduring abuse and control, Alex Shearer takes her chance and runs. Determined to live life on her own terms, she escapes to a quiet town on the Oregon coast and starts over.
Alex wants Theo Anderson to be part of her fresh start. Charming, attentive, and handsome, Theo seems like he’s exactly what she needs.
Luckily for her, Theo’s already decided that Alex is his.
Fresh from prison and struggling to control his impulses, Theo has been watching her for weeks. In his mind, they’re already together – she just doesn’t know it yet.
What Theo sees as making their relationship official, Alex sees as being trapped in a situation she can’t escape.
As Theo sinks deeper into his obsession and Alex’s grip on reality begins to blur, she fights to outmaneuver him, desperate to prevent her captivity from becoming the connection he insists it is.
