My wedding day was supposed to be the happiest day of my life. And it was…until it wasn’t. Until Zoe got a message from the stalker we thought had disappeared.

We thought we’d be safe on a dream cruise for our honeymoon. There was no way this psycho could follow us out to sea. Right?

Wrong.

Returning home with crushed spirits and reputations, we resolved to do everything we could to bring this person to justice. When we found out we were expecting six weeks later, something that should have been joyful brought abject terror. How could I keep my wife and unborn child both safe from a lunatic whose actions kept escalating?

Zoe’s stalker played on both of our deepest fears, unearthing memories long buried and shining light on truths that shook us to the core. And when they finally made the mistake that revealed their identity, it changed everything I thought I knew about my past.

Stopping this person was supposed to end it. But no one told me about the aftermath. Would I survive the weight of the knowledge that had been forced on me, or would it crumble the foundation my life was built on and rob me of the only thing I still knew was real?
