The Story

As if losing her family in a tragic accident wasn’t enough sorrow for a lifetime, a fatal end to a relationship sends recent college graduate Lauren Miller on the run to escape the memories.

A new life. A new job. A new multi-millionaire boss whose unusual interest in her life makes her uneasy.

But then the worst happens, a package on the doorstep. No one knows she has moved, but someone is stalking her. Pictures, an old wedding dress, a corpse, and threats.

Lauren is frozen. She can’t go to the police – too many secrets. Can she turn to her new boss? Can she still trust him after she finds out his secret connection to her past?

When all seems lost, can Lauren gain the composure to overcome the demons of her past and conquer her greatest challenge – to survive another day?
