Passion. Obsession. Cruelty. Control…
There is no limit to how far some people will go for love.
Duncan Stone is one of the country’s most eligible bachelors, and he wants to take me, Callie Parker, on a date.
At first I am surprised and flattered, the envy of my friends. Then when our whirlwind romance escalates and he asks me to move in with him, it’s like a dream come true.
But as I get to really know my new boyfriend, my fairytale turns into a nightmare. Duncan is no Prince Charming. He is the Devil.
Soon, isolated from my friends and family, watched day and night, a prisoner in my own life, I know if I am going to survive, I need to escape.
When a chance encounter with an old friend throws me a lifeline, I realise this is my live or die moment, and I find a hiding place deep in the Norfolk countryside.
I’m supposed to feel safe here, so why do I hear footsteps outside my hideaway late at night, and sense that someone is watching me?
Is it paranoia, or has Duncan managed to find me? Perhaps the danger is closer to home than I realise.

Review
You meet the man of your dreams, but soon it seems like he is the man of your worst nightmares. The only thing you can do is to run as far away as you can…
This must be one of the most awful feelings. Your confidence level is below zero and even when you are in a safe place, you still cannot stop looking over your shoulder, expecting to see your tormentor.
bullies think they are so wonderful, but the truth is they are the biggest cowards in the world. They feel strong, but ti’s because they pick their victims carefully. They only threaten those they are convinced they can overpower. Once the meet someone who overpowers them, they cry like babies.
I love dogs and I love stories featuring dogs, but I am always afraid that something will happen to them and I know I would not be able to keep on reading if a character would really be cruel to a canine. That why I adored Callie who would give her life to keep her furry friend safe and sound. Duncan on the other hand is all charm in public, but one of the most despicable people behind closed doors.
I regularly felt uncomfortable and sick whilst reading and in my opinion this means the author made it all very real if she can have this effect on her readers.
It feels a bit weird saying I loved this book because of the subject, but I guess you know what I mean. It was well written and I felt chills running down my spine during certain scenes. 5 stars
Thank you
