Rachel Cross thought she had escaped the nightmare. She thought she had outrun Drogo Ballard, the man whose obsession with her defied all logic-a man who had already left a trail of bodies behind. But when a single, chilling phone call proves he's still watching, still hunting, Rachel realizes the past isn't done with her yet. With nowhere else to turn, she finds solace in Malachim Archad, a brilliant but enigmatic man whose mind is as vast as the universe he seeks to understand. Together, they weave a plan-a dangerous game of deception-to draw Drogo out, to expose him, to finally end the terror that has followed Rachel like a ghost. But the deeper they dig, the darker the secrets become. As Rachel plays a high-stakes game with a predator who doesn't understand the word no, she and Malachim soon realize that Drogo isn't the only threat lurking in the shadows. Because someone else is watching. Someone who knows the truth. And in this deadly game of obsession, not everyone will make it out alive.
