I thought this was a dream come true, but this dream is a nightmare... and sometimes strangers are safer. Lila married who she believed to be the love of her life, but as soon as the documents were signed, a switch flipped. Over time, the man she thought she knew, the man she grew up with, was never who she thought. When she bumps into a stranger at her favorite bookstore, he won't take no for an answer. But who is more dangerous? Her husband or her new stalker? Lila Fischer: I thought this was all I ever wanted. A beautiful house on the water, my own library, a loving husband. I had convinced myself that I was living a beautiful dream. That what was happening to me was normal, and I should be happy, not ungrateful. I was living a dream, right? That's what I kept telling myself. But this... is a nightmare. Anthony Russo: Her husband doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as her. In that house, she's barely living. Merely existing. I will make her mine. Only I can make her happy. Author's Note: This book ends on a cliffhanger. For CW's, please visit the author's website. This is not a cozy romance book. This book contains heavy topics. I know I can't tell anyone what to do, but I highly recommend that you take your mental health seriously and read the trigger warnings.
