[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com) ABOUT THE BOOK I’m stalking a man with dark, terrifying secrets, and I still can’t bring myself to fear him. How can I, when he’s the doctor who saved my life? “Not on my watch.” That’s what Dr. Alaric Lockwood said when I told him I didn’t think I was going to make it. He stayed true to his word. I’m alive because of him. I should be grateful and move on like he did. Impossible. Years have passed since that night, and I still can’t get him out of my mind. That’s why I’m back in town. Why I’m not going anywhere. Why I don’t question my ﬁxation on him, even when I catch him doing things he shouldn’t. We’re meant to be. Slowly but surely, he’s starting to see it too, growing as obsessed with me as I am with him. The only problem is, he won’t open up about the dark secret I uncovered while stalking him. If he thinks I need protecting from that side of him, he’s wrong. I’m not fragile. I won’t break. But since he doesn’t know it yet, I’ll have to do something drastic to convince him And hope it doesn’t backﬁre on us.

It’s not the same one who kept telling me to stay with him on the ride here, to the hospital. His voice was a little high- pitched. This new man’s voice is deeper. Low, steady. Reassuring. But I can’t focus on it for too long. There are hands touching me. Each one lands on a bruise. A cut. My arm, I think it might be broken. Mom really went all out tonight. “One…” a woman starts counting. Please, be careful. Everything hurts. As much as I want to say these things, it’s hard. My throat is raw and scratchy from screaming. Even if it weren’t, I’m too drained to speak. Maybe if I open my eyes, they’ll see what I’m trying to tell them. I try. Try. Try. And fail. My swollen eyelids are too heavy. My entire body is. Dammit. “Two…” she continues, unaware of my rising panic.
