An obsession with his captor means there’s no need for escape–he’s already home.

The worst thing Gregory’s ever done is have the audacity to hope that he can be forgiven.

The second worst thing is murder.

He never wanted to. He had to. People just won’t leave him alone.

It doesn’t matter–cold stares and colder shoulders were all he ever knew long before there were any bodies buried in the ground.

Meeting the magnetic son of a billionaire by chance one night abruptly tears down the walls of the safe, isolated life Gregory built for himself.

Sinclair is charismatic, affable and inexplicably full of sunshine at two in the morning.

He accosts Gregory when he should have crossed the street to avoid him.

He flirts relentlessly instead of recoiling in disgust.

Gregory’s never had a friend before, let alone a boyfriend but Sinclair is hell-bent on peeling open Gregory’s shell.

Gregory’s afraid he might do something impulsive.

Something life-altering and reckless.

Something like text Sinclair back.

That is, if he can get back to his cabin and bury the dead body in the trunk of his car first.

Sinclair, meanwhile, is on the hunt for the latest victim to tie up in his basement–and he’s just found the perfect one, the kind he adores most of all: an isolated, anxious, lonely man who no one will possibly miss.

Gregory is strange and jumpy and flustered dizzy by the slightest attention–he’ll cry just right when Sinclair finally flashes his knife.

Sinclair only has two rules:

1. Don’t sleep with the victims.
2. Don’t let them live.

There's just one problem: Sinclair might like his new plaything a little too much. Enough to break every rule he's ever made for himself.

…And he has no idea Gregory has a body count of his own.

In the whirlwind of their mutual obsession, killing each other is easy–but keeping each other is hard.
