Emily McPhee finally has the life she wants. She has a comfortable home and a great circle of friends that includes handsome Orange PD officer Seth Conners, who she's madly in love with even though he keeps pushing her away.

Unknowingly, she's also caught the eye of Jimmy Lasko, a psychopath on the loose who's turned Emily into his greatest obsession.

He knows what he wants, what he deserves, and his end goal is Emily.

He's just watching, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike...and that time is coming soon. He'll make sure of it.

Will Seth be able to keep Emily safe, or will Lasko continue to lurk within the darkness?

Emily finds herself in the clutches of a monster…in more ways than one.

After being locked up in Jimmy Lasko’s basement, Emily believes he is not working alone. Now, not only is he still out there, but he’s crazier than ever and determined to get her back.

Emily has no idea who she can trust. To make things worse, as she tries to recover from everything. Seth is remined that their relationship might endanger her further. He pulls away again in fear that he might not be able to save her if he’s too close.

Everything is stacking up against Emily, and it’s not only a matter of time before the second villain reveals himself. Lasko’s obsession knows no bounds, and he wants everyone to know just how far he’ll go.

Sometimes things seem very clear…until you look more closely. 

 

More than a year after her ordeal, Emily McPhee finally feels safe…

Emily’s psychological scars are healing. Things are great between her and Orange Police Department Officer Seth Connors, and her biggest problem is the X-rated Halloween decorations her best friend Pete has placed all around her house.

If only it would stay that way…

Seth senses something isn’t right, but he doesn’t know where the danger is coming from…or why. He’s sure Emily’s neighbor, Travis McKay, is hiding something, and the man pays way too much attention to Emily.

To make things even more complicated, a new female officer appears to have her sights set on Seth, and fellow officer Alexander Avery has some sort of connection to a mysterious brothel employee. Seth has a feeling all these odd things are somehow connected—but he knows he’s missing a huge piece of the puzzle.

Pull at a thread and everything unravels.

Emily’s mother shows up with a surprise and a dirty plan to force her to sell the family home…and Seth’s father is proven to be the deceitful monster he always believed him to be. Lasko’s tainted past and twisted family ties turn out to be more complex than they ever imagined.

Every lie has a consequence, and Seth and Emily need the truth.

In order to escape with their lives and their love intact, they must answer one critical question… 

Who is the real target in this deadly game?
