Isla Hansley is a vet who loves her work, especially caring for animals and giving them a second chance.
Xander Sloan owns a cybersecurity company. One night, while driving home, he finds a deer hit in the road and takes it to the nearest veterinary clinic, where Isla treats it. He watches her during the process, and she stays on his mind afterward. He starts thinking about her more than he should and finds excuses to see her again.
After a while, Isla starts noticing strange things: unexpected letters, anonymous messages, and the feeling that someone is watching her when she leaves the clinic at night. At first, she ignores it, but it keeps happening and she begins to feel unsafe. Eventually, she trusts Xander enough to confide in him, and he becomes the person she leans on in a situation she feels she can't escape.
But if Xander is the one keeping her safe, then who has been watching her all along?
