Publisher's Synopsis
When extreme circumstances push Elly and Gerard together, their lives are turned upside-down. Their instant, but in Elly's case, unwanted, attraction to each other only causes more trouble as Elly finds herself the target of a serial killer, and Gerard finds himself risking his life to save her. "Just trust me." The desperation in his voice makes me realize the severity of his request, and despite my better judgment, I go along with his wish. We turn the corner and walk faster. "Okay, just making sure... At the next block, we are going to turn right again." "We are getting farther away from Clara's." "I realize that; we are not going to Clara's now." I stop walking. "Gerard, stop playing games. May is at Clara's. I need to go to Clara's." My forceful tone just bounces off him. Gerard subtly glances behind us. "Please, keep walking Elly, I will explain soon enough. We need to turn right down this next block, and I will give you instructions. "Instructions? Who does he think he is? The confusion, and slight anger, shows all over my face, but he urges me forward, with his hand on my back, so that I keep going. We take the next turn, and Gerard closes the gap between us. "Elly, I don't want you to freak out, okay? The minute I say this, your first instinct will be to turn around. Do not give into that instinct. You need to act as if everything is normal. Got it?" "Gerard, you are freaking me out more by not telling me, what is it?" I ask through gritted teeth. "Don't turn around, but I think we are being followed..."
