A new city.
A new life.
And a sociopath determined
to take back what's his.

Ten years ago, Adrian Ellis vowed to hunt me down and claim me like a prize, but I haven't heard a word since.

Now I'm thriving in New York City--with a blossoming art career, a fearless roommate-turned-best-friend intent to push me out of my comfort zone, and a true golden boy who has no idea how deep my darkness runs.

But just as I'm ready to move on, Adrian reappears in my city and my life. He swears he isn't here for me, but as the seams of my carefully stitched life begin to fray, all signs point back to him-and I suspect he's been pulling the strings longer than I've known.

I might've started this game a decade ago, but Adrian plans to finish it-and the stakes are higher than ever. He wants my life, my name, and me. Forever.

But we aren't the only players on the board, and there are threats bigger than Adrian lurking in the shadows. If I'm going to survive this game, I'll need to embrace every part of the darkness I thought I left at Lionswood.

Good thing I'm not interested in playing fair.
