From USA Today and Amazon Best Selling Author, Casi McLean comes another gripping Psychological Suspense Thriller...
Atlanta Sportscaster, Elise Sloan, never expected to fall in love with a younger man––especially a jock who happens to be a first round NFL draft pick. But when Deke Madigan sweeps into her life, he mesmerizes her––at least she thought he did until an eerie murder in a condo unit behind hers has her second-guessing everything––including her own sanity. When her anxiety triggers a full-blown panic attack, her best friend, Britt, convinces her to relax by spending a long weekend at her lake house with Deke. Isolated deep in the forest, she typically feels calm at the family retreat, but even with Deke, she can’t shake the creepy feelings crawling over her. When her dog, Jasper, darts into the dark woods, she chases after him and stumbles upon a sinister secret…a secret that threatens her life as well as Dekes. To save them both, Elise must escape a dangerous man with a fatal obsession lurking in the shadows.
Excerpt:
The last few months, Deke’s life had played out like a dream come true. Winning the Heisman not only fulfilled a childhood fantasy, the trophy created a springboard toward a prime NFL pick. Lathering his legs and feet, he stepped under the shower spray to rinse off and barely heard the click of a locker closing behind him. His mind drifted between Elise and wondering where he’d land after the draft played out…until the hairs on his neck rose. He sensed someone watching him and spun to see a water-blurred image only a few feet away. Rubbing his eyes to see more clearly, he stared…but his mind refused to accept who he saw. “What the hell?”
In a blink, an arm wrapped around his neck and a hand clamped over his mouth. The chokehold pressed against his neck. Soaking wet and completely unprepared, he couldn’t react…couldn’t counterpunch…couldn’t breathe. Again, Deke flashed on his assailant’s face in utter confusion…until his surroundings faded…blackness enveloped him…and he slid into a deep, dark abyss.
