Eliana 'Elle' Carpenter's life has been nothing but a series of never-ending hits. A paramedic in school, training for nursing, a prestigious lawyer boyfriend, mental health being taken care of... Everything appears to be great on the outside. She's trapped in her metaphorical cage; her list of chains growing consistently. Mentally ill, addict mother, father in prison, creepy landlord, terrible boyfriend... She can't break her chains; if she did, it'd reveal secrets and unravel lies she's spun for years. Smile, lie, deflect, and take my meds is her daily mantra. Freedom isn't a possibility until she gets a stalker. He is obsessed, possessive, and malicious. He wants her, her secrets, her truth, everything. But will his breaking her chains mean she's just replacing the old ones with his?

Landon Maverick made a promise to his older brother that he would stop killing. Hell, he had been doing good for years, but he was bored with all his free time until the one night he ran into 'Ana'. Only her name isn't Ana; it was the first lie of many. Now he was no longer bored; he had a new obsession. His vow to his brother means nothing if it interferes with her safety. She's unhinged, reckless, impulsive - except when it comes to her secrets. She carries guilt from something years ago - something that changed her entire family's life. Whatever it is, it ties her in place to Atticus, a man he's hated for decades, whom his family employs as their lawyer... her boyfriend. She's Landon's, even if she doesn't know it yet, but he has to figure out what skeletons she has buried. He can't truly save her until he breaks her chains, and he will destroy whatever gets in his way.
