Publisher's Synopsis
When Ruth Lasseter hires an escort to cover for a workplace affair, she unwittingly lets a deeply disturbed young man into her life. Though she survives the consequence, she's left with the lingering suspicion that he hasn't simply disappeared, but has gone on to reinvent himself. He's still out there, taking out his problems on other women just like her.
There was a moment where Ruth had her chance to stop him for good. But she didn't take it.
Now she realizes that closure for both of them lies on the other side of that line.
