"The story I've been pulled into won't have a happy ending, but I'm determined to write it my way . . . or to die trying."
When a stalker begins frequenting best-selling novelist Alexandra Dubois' psyche by means of creepy, borderline-threatening notes, her publishing team decides to re-locate her from Greenwich, Connecticut to a remote upscale hideaway in the mountains of West Virginia. She's on deadline, and her editor's property has often been used as a writers retreat; staying incognito in a small town should be easy, right?
When it seems that trouble has indeed followed her, Alex finds it difficult to trust anyone, her predictable paranoia keeps her on edge, making her second-guess everything and everyone, even her own reality. It all comes crashing down one dark stormy night when Alex knows for sure that "Someone is in the house, and I need to hide." The one person she longs to trust . . . is nowhere to be foun . . . surely not . . .
A wonderful psychological thriller by an author whose clean, crisp scenarios hide dangerous, devious, and highly demented villains.

Her readers love her...
but one has gotten a little too attached.
Alexandra Dubois, a NYT bestselling author, has made a name for herself by crafting twisted serial killers in her romantic suspense series. When threatening notes from an "invested reader" escalate into violence, Alex has to admit she's not safe in her own home. Although her autism makes any changes to her routine difficult, she reluctantly accepts her editor's advice to fly to his sprawling vacation home in West Virginia so she can focus on her looming deadline.
Fighting paranoia that the stalker has discovered her mountain hideaway, Alex still forces herself to write several chapters in her novel. But when a thunderstorm leaves her stranded and she hears a knock at her door, she's about to discover that life truly is stranger than fiction.
Fans of Alfred Hitchcock, Mary Higgins Clark, and Misery are sure to be hooked by this clean, fast-paced domestic thriller by RWA Daphne Award-winning author Heather Day Gilbert.
