A gentle rain started falling as Olivia neared her home. A harsh gust of wind put her senses on edge. Slowly, she pushed the door open. She considered locking it immediately, but if there was someone there, she wanted to have an escape route. She would lock it later, if it turned out nothing was amiss. The garden was dark, but the light by the front door was on. Olivia walked a few steps and then stopped in her tracks. Hadn’t she turned the outside light off?

By the time she finds a job at the Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris and becomes friends with Susan and Lizy, she has almost forgotten him. That is until she starts receiving anonymous threatening messages. When someone follows her home one night, she no longer feels safe. Has Roan followed her to Paris? Just as the police decides to take action, Olivia disappears without a trace…
