Swept to a new town on a wave of secrecy, a recalcitrant seventeen-year-old is lured into a game of cat and mouse when her obsessive ex-boyfriend decides if he can't have her, no one can. 

SYNOPSIS:

What happens when you’re trapped between a new love and an ex-boyfriend who refuses to let you go?

When seventeen-year-old Harley Belle Thorpe is rushed to her father’s house on the opposite side of the country, she’s only expecting to stay a week at most—just until things settle down. She doesn’t expect her ex-boyfriend, Rafe, to violate his restraining order, or for her trip to be extended indefinitely, and she certainly isn’t expecting to fall for River Havencroft, her stepmother’s nephew.

River truly sees Harley, recognizing her resilience and respecting her need to reclaim her life on her terms. He doesn’t want to fix her; he only wants to walk alongside her as she finds her strength. It’s this quiet patience and unwavering presence that prove to Harley love without control or obsession is possible.

But Rafe will stop at nothing to get what he wants, and he wants Harley back.

As the sun sets on summer, Harley’s elusive stalker will make his darkest, most twisted play yet, and with her life on the line, she’ll have to summon every ounce of strength and resourcefulness to turn Rafe’s game against him, because only one of them can emerge from the darkness alive.
