Be afraid. Someone’s watching.

At fifteen, Amy witnessed her father brutally M**der his secret lover. Her testimony sealed her father’s fate. With him in Pr*son, Amy and her mother must rebuild their lives in the shadow of a notorious crime.

Years later, Oliver Harrington walks into the restaurant where Amy works. Just like Amy, Oliver has a past he’d rather forget. Amy is drawn to him at a profound level; they feel a connection, an understanding…

This seems a lot like love, but does it hide something darker – an obsession that could lead Amy into a web of deception and violence she thought she’d escaped? As the truth looms ever closer, Amy must confront a harsh reality: where there is love, there is often betrayal.
Adele will be in conversation before a Q&A and book signning.
