My husband called the police six hours after he killed me. For months, Nathan Voss helped me survive a stalker who seemed to know everything about my life-where I worked, where my children went to school, even what happened inside my own home. Nathan installed cameras, checked my car for trackers, and promised he would never let anyone hurt me. I trusted him. After my body is found in the garage, the police begin hunting Adrian Cole, the boyfriend I dated seventeen years ago. Every message, photograph, and threat points to him. There is only one problem. Adrian has no idea I am dead. As detectives uncover the truth behind the stalking, they realize my murder was never a moment of rage. It was the final step in a plan designed by the man sleeping beside me. He did not only want to kill me. He wanted everyone I loved to believe someone else had done it.

"I'LL BE THE ONLY SKIN YOU'LL EVER NEED. I'm your beginning and your end." he spat these words, anger flooding his voice, as he pressed me harder against the wall. I tried to push him away to create some space between us, but he was too determined. My kicks struck his shins without budging him and all I got in return was a low amused grunt that rolled against my forehead. "Stop," he murmured. His hands seized my wrists and pinned them above my head. I turned my face away. "Look at me" His hand closed around my jaw, his thumb stroking my lower lip with such slowness that he seemed to taste my resistance before devouring it. He turned my face toward his and pressed his pelvis against mine, as I felt the hardness of his desire through the fabric of our clothes. He held me tighter, sliding his thigh between mine, and I had to grip his chest to keep from collapsing under his weight. Then he pressed his hand against my lips before whispering to me: "Honey, you need to understand that even if I'm away, you are mine." With these words, his other hand slid to my waist and gripped it tenderly. "Your blood, your soul, your suffering. Everything is mine." All I could do was tremble beneath his touch. Then he said to me: "I'll cage you between my hands and my legs" He was looking for refuge. He still has no idea what she was looking for.

But when he stops looking away, the cracks in their gilded prison start to show.

After the death of her father, Annastasia Cadwell takes a nanny job that pays far too much and asks far too little. Most people would call it suspicious. Ann calls it employment. The Aldridge estate is beautiful. The child is lonely. The father is charming. And none of those things are the problem. Because the longer Annastasia watches Vincent Aldridge, the more familiar he becomes. Familiar habits. Familiar smiles. Familiar monsters. But Annastasia has never been good at leaving things alone. Curiosity has teeth, and people always spill themselves if you watch long enough. The question isn't whether Vincent is hiding something.

Make sure to notice even the smallest details, because Anastasia surely does. Farewell, and hope you enjoy! Content Warnings This is a psychological thriller.
