If saving your life caused you more suffering than dying ever could, would you thank the man who did it, or would you kill him? Samantha is brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from death. The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself. The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means dealing with a captor whose ruthlessness is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself. What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other.

Did you really think you could hide from me?" Her grip on the phone tightened until her knuckles turned white. "What do you want?" she managed to ask, her voice wavering with fear and anger. "Isn't it obvious?" he sneered. "To finish what I started. You think you can just leave me behind and live your life like nothing happened? You're mine, Molly. You always will be."
