Lianna comes from a wealthy family of modern aristocrats. Simple was never a word she'd use to describe her life, but nothing comes as close to what she has to face now.
Trailing footsteps with no treader in sight, unusual texts from an anonymous number, and weird letters in the mail. She thinks someone is just playing a trick on her, but a photo of her sleeping in bed at night sent with an intimate caption confirms her worst fears.
She knows that someone is out there, and for some reason, they're out for her.
With never-ending family drama and an unexpected romance, her life becomes more confusing than ever. And with vicious threats and disturbing packages piling up, Lianna knows that she doesn't have much time to catch whoever is after her and put a stop to them before it's too late.

"Do you love me?," Jake asks tenderly. His eyes are soft and the flicks of green and gold in them sparkle against the dark.
The emotions build up like a filling glass of wine and I can barely get out the words.
"I love you."
"You don't," he objects. His words are tinted with the harsh feeling of rejection.
I don't believe he can't see how much I care for him, so much it scares me.
"Yes, I do."
"Then why do you always leave?"
He's throwing me the last bit of rope he has left. One last chance to explain myself, for all my secrecy and dissapearings. Jake's eyes are pressing into mine, taking away all the room the darkness in me hid. I feel the masked thoughts, and paranoia, and fear spilling over as my mouth rushes to confide in him, and I lean against his warm chest.
