She woke up to the sound of gunshots. A few seconds later, her life was stolen forever.

Sixteen-year-old Olivia Walters never imagined that a single night could destroy everything she loved. But when she stumbles downstairs to find her parents lying lifeless on the foyer floor, their blood pooling beneath them, she realizes that nightmare has become reality.

The masked intruder-once just a thief, now a murderer-locks eyes with her. She gasps. He hears. She runs. He catches her.

With his hands tight around her throat, Olivia does the only thing she can: beg. She promises she won't go to the police. She swears she won't tell a soul.

And that's when the idea strikes him. If she's not free, she can't talk.

Instead of leaving her behind, the man who just stole her family takes something else-her. Abducted from the very home he turned into a crime scene, Olivia is forced into captivity, her fate now at the mercy of a deranged man with nothing left to lose.

She's not alone. Jake Rhodes, another victim, has already learned what it means to survive under their captor's control. He's seen the man take what he wants, when he wants, and now, he knows Olivia is his next prize.

Trapped. Hunted. Terrified.

Olivia and Jake have only one choice-survive.

But with each passing day, one question becomes more pressing than the rest: Can they escape before they become his next victims?

A gripping psychological thriller packed with heart-pounding tension and impossible choices. For fans of Kara Thomas, Natasha Preston, and true crime-inspired suspense.
