**Two women. One dangerous secret. And a life swap that spirals into nightmare.**

Sloane Mitchell has everything-wealth, success, a picture-perfect life. But beneath the surface, she’s suffocating. When she meets Harper Grey, a woman who looks uncannily like her, Harper makes an irresistible offer: swap lives for three weeks. No strings attached. Just a chance to escape.

What begins as a thrilling adventure becomes a descent into terror. Because Harper didn’t tell Sloane the truth. She wasn’t looking for a break from her boring life-she was running from a stalker who’s been watching her every move for a year. A man named Jared Mills who doesn’t just follow his victims. He owns them.

Now Sloane is trapped in Harper’s world, living with Harper’s fears, and Jared has found a new obsession. He knows about the swap. He’s been watching both of them. And he’s not going to stop until one of them belongs to him forever.

When Harper vanishes without warning, Sloane realizes the horrifying truth: she’s been set up. Left to face the consequences of Harper’s choices. Hunted by a predator who’s spent months perfecting his craft. And the only person who might help her is Ethan-Harper’s boyfriend, who Sloane has been deceiving all along.

As Jared’s obsession escalates and bodies are left in his wake, Sloane must make an impossible choice: run like Harper did, or stand and fight a monster who’s always three steps ahead.

But when Jared takes Harper captive, Sloane and Ethan discover that some nightmares can only end one way-with blood on your hands and the weight of survival that changes you forever.

**Because the woman Sloane set out to find isn’t the same one she’ll become.**

**She’s the stranger she became.**
