Publisher Description
This chilling, sizzling, and addictive thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Vi Keeland follows a New York psychiatrist’s dark descent into dangerous obsession.
This isn’t a love story.
It’s a story about obsession.
After experiencing a terrible loss, New York City psychiatrist Meredith McCall feels painfully adrift. When she crosses paths with a man with whom she has a tragic connection, she follows him, sparking an unhealthy obsession with Gabriel Wright. How is he doing so well while her life is in shambles?
But when Gabriel walks into her office as a patient, seemingly unaware of who she is, she knows it crosses all ethical and moral bounds to treat him. Yet, Meredith can’t bring herself to turn him away and becomes further entangled. With her life and career continuing to unravel, it appears that things could not get any worse…until they do.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A grieving psychiatrist falls for a potentially dangerous patient in the shocking debut thriller from romance novelist Keeland (The Spark). Meredith McCall's life was upended when her husband, professional hockey player Connor Fitzgerald, started abusing drugs and alcohol after a career-ending injury, then died in a drunk driving accident. In the aftermath, Meredith has grown obsessed with Gabriel Wright, whose wife and daughter were killed in the crash. She's surprised when Gabriel walks into her office one afternoon, and even more stunned when she agrees to take him as a patient, fearing she'd give away her identity—and the fact that she's been following him—if she declined. Soon, their relationship crosses the line from professional to romantic, and Keeland unveils, in alternating timelines, the circumstances that led Gabriel to select Meredith as his therapist. Is he playing a long game for revenge? Might Meredith's memories of Connor's accident be less than reliable? The tone is a little soapy, but Keeland keeps the twists coming hard and fast, and few readers will be able to predict them. This satisfies.
