Going through my pictures, I went to the one that I had just taken, and the phone slowly slipped out of my grasp. What had escaped my notice before is that the couch I had taken the picture on was against a window, which showed the backyard of the house. But in this picture, it wasn't an empty backyard. No, behind my smiling face was another one, outside the window. It was his face. Covered with a black ski mask, watching me. *** All 19-year-old Layna wanted to do was forget about the guy that broke her heart, and move on with her new boyfriend Brian. But instead, she unwittingly attracted the attention of a stalker. Someone who had been watching her every move for a month, plotting and planning for the perfect moment when he could take her. What Layna never would have expected was that when he finally kidnaps her, she would have to undergo "The Test". The Test that the girls before her had gone through. The one they failed, and payed heavily for. Will she pass The Test or will she die like the others?

For most girls, Valentine's Day is a day of romance, surprises, and grand gestures. But for Ava? It's just another day watching her boyfriend, Matt, glued to his video games. Sure, Matt is ridiculously handsome-so much so that any girl would fall for him at first sight. He's charming, witty... but romantic? Not even close. Year after year, Ava has endured his lack of Valentine's spirit, convincing herself that this is just how love works. After all, letting go of Matt means facing the terrifying possibility of being alone forever. But fate-or maybe a mischievous cupid-has other plans. When Ava lands an interview with Hollywood's biggest heartthrob, she expects a routine assignment. What she doesn't expect is for sparks to fly, or for her carefully built world to start unraveling. Suddenly, she's faced with an impossible choice: stay with the man she's known and settled for, or take a leap of faith with someone unexpected-someone she might have misjudged all along. Will Ava play it safe, or will she risk it all for the kind of love she never believed was possible?
