She thought she was in control. She thought she knew the man she loved. She was wrong.

Tess Prescott's summer at the luxurious Breakers Resort was supposed to be a picture-perfect getaway—long days by the lake, family dinners, and perhaps a little harmless summer romance. But when she falls for Jason Moretti, a man with ties to a dangerous crime syndicate, her world begins to spiral into something far more sinister.

Everyone warns her to stay away—her family, her friends, even the charming and persistent Dr. Jared Brooks. But Tess is convinced she sees the real Jason, the man beneath the reputation. Until the secrets start unraveling. Until the lies become impossible to ignore.

As the walls close in around her, Tess finds herself caught in a deadly game where trust is a luxury she can't afford. Someone is watching. Someone is manipulating. And as her obsession turns into a nightmare, Tess will have to ask herself one terrifying question:

How far will someone go to keep her right where they want her?
