When Ruth Lasseter hires an escort to cover for a workplace affair, she unwittingly lets a deeply disturbed young man into her life. Though she survives the consequence, she's left with the lingering suspicion that he hasn't simply disappeared, but has gone on to reinvent himself. He's still out there, taking out his problems on other women just like her.

There was a moment where Ruth had her chance to stop him for good. But she didn't take it.

Now she realizes that closure for both of them lies on the other side of that line.

From the Inside Flap:

iller-reading were a sin, Stephen Gallagher would be responsible for my ultimate damnation. His work is fast-paced, well-written, infused with a sense of dark wonder, and altogether fresh."
--Dean R. Koontz
Though Tim Hagan appears wistful and sweet, beneath his polite veneer and boyishly handsome face lies a rage as deep as the ocean, and a conflict as sharp as a dagger. He needs a woman to save him from his gruesome past--and those who fail will simply become part of it.
Usually decisive and in command, thirty-something Ruth Lasseter finds herself on shaky ground. In order to mask an office affair, she must bring an escort to the company dance--someone who can play the part of paramour with convincing precision. Finally she makes her choice: Tim Hagan seems a suitable young man.
The darkness torn from that single night will consume Ruth with a need for vengeance and strip her life to the bone.
For Ruth escapes the hellish fate Hagan planned for her, only to become
