A cyber-stalker and a murder threaten her life…

When IT specialist, Brooklyn Hurst's cyber stalker grows bolder and the police refuse to do anything about it, she has to take drastic measures. Like fleeing the only home she's known to a place so off the map that the stalker would never think to look. When she discovers, Colin Graham, a former FBI agent and now Shadow Lake Survival cyber expert, is looking for a live-in caregiver for his mother, she applies for the position and is hired via an online interview. She quietly packs up everything she can fit into her car and disappears in the middle of the night, ensuring that her stalker doesn't follow her.

Will the danger draw the couple closer together or push them apart?

She fits in perfectly with Colin and his mother, but he'd never met a more jumpy and fearful woman in his life and is sure something is wrong. As they grow closer, he gains her trust, and she shares about her stalker. As if talking about her stalker conjures him up, he makes his appearance in Shadow Lake. Had Colin betrayed her? Done something stupid to bring danger to her doorstep again? Should she run again or could she trust Colin? Colin knows running isn't the answer and promises to keep her safe. But can he do so while also protecting his heart from pain again?
