The storm has passed. Or has it? Six months ago, Lizzie did the unthinkable. She walked away from her high-powered corporate career, slapped her obsessive ex-boss Tucker across the face, and returned home to the quiet coastal shores of Norfolk for good. Now, wrapped in the safe, loving arms of Austin, her fresh start on Marina Drive feels like a beautiful dream come true. The heavy clouds have finally cleared, and Lizzie is finally at peace. But freedom is an illusion. A mile away, a luxury sports car engine once roared into the night, carrying away a man whose corporate bravado had shattered into a cold, dark resolve. Tucker hasn't forgotten the humiliation. He hasn't forgotten the slap. And most of all, he hasn't forgotten Lizzie. When an unmarked envelope appears in Lizzie's mailbox containing nothing but a chillingly familiar lyric-We'll meet again-the fragile peace on Marina Drive is instantly shattered. What follows is a calculated game of psychological cat-and-mouse. Tucker is watching from the shadows, orchestrating a brilliant, terrifying campaign to ruin Lizzie's new life, piece by piece. As the threats escalate from cryptic messages to physical danger, Austin will do whatever it takes to protect the woman he loves. But how do you fight a shadow? In this gripping sequel to Book 1, Lizzie and Austin must confront a terrifying truth: some pasts refuse to stay buried, and some promises are a death sentence.
