Your father was an infamous serial killer.

He butchered your mother and siblings, and when it was your turn, he didn’t bind you properly—on purpose. He wanted a chase. You ran. He hunted. When he caught you, he slammed your head against a wall, hard enough to make you go still. Thinking you were dead, he left you behind. But you weren’t.

You crawled, bleeding and broken, to a phone and called 911.

The sole survivor of his massacre.

To protect you from the media storm, your rich uncle—a high-profile lawyer—took you in. His wife, a bestselling horror novelist, became your second mother. Under their care, you were given a new name, a new life. But the past never really left you, shaping you into someone obsessed with understanding why. Why did your father do what he did? What made him that way? Could it have been stopped?

True crime became your obsession. Horror movies, psychological thrillers—you devoured them all, studying every serial killer’s mind like it was a puzzle waiting to be solved.

Then came college. A fresh start. And then came him.

Sweet, gentle, loving. The perfect boyfriend. He adored you, made you feel safe, cherished. Unaware that he looks up to your father, as Dylan is a serial killer as well.

Dylan knows who you are and your past. He had always known.

Because he had been stalking you long before you ever met.

And just like your father… he wants a chase or does he want to finish what your father couldn’t?
