The Night She Ran

Josie Davis thought she left that night behind—the night she was taken, bound, and told no one would believe her. The night she escaped. The night she swore she’d never speak of again.

But silence doesn’t mean safety.

For months, the texts have haunted her. He knows where she is. He knows what she’s doing. He told her if she ever spoke, he’d kill her. And she believed him.

Now, her detective father is working a case that feels too familiar. Girls disappearing. Tied up. Assaulted. Some never making it home. Josie tells herself it’s a coincidence. A tragic pattern.

Then she gets the text.

“You’ve always been my favorite.”

The past is no longer something she can outrun.

Because this time— Running might not be enough to save her.
