Genre: Psychological Thriller

A luxury kidnapping?
Or a disaster in the making?

He’s done this before—followed women, watched them, waited for their secrets to surface.
It always ends the same. He chooses the perfect victim.
And then he makes them pay.

But this one?

She’s too perfect. Too normal. The kind of woman who smiles like she has nothing to hide.
That’s what gives her away.

When she leaves the hospital that night, he’s ready. Calm. Precise.
Until she turns to him and says: “This is a mistake.

She’s not talking about him.

By the time he realizes he’s taken the wrong woman—she’s already inside the house. Locked in. Living by his rules.

But she’s not afraid. She won’t confess.
She won’t break.

Because she’s not the victim.
And whatever she’s hiding?
It’s not just darker than his past.
It might be deadlier.

Bestselling author Britney King delivers a razor-wire psychological thriller about obsession, revenge, and secrets with teeth. For readers who know the worst monsters don’t make mistakes—they make plans.
