The Book – Domestic Suspense
Driving home one night, veterinarian Cassie Larkin sees a man and woman fighting on the side of the road.
When she steps in, the attacker warns her: “Let her die, and I’ll let you live.”
Trained to heal, Cassie isn’t about to let the woman die. But while she’s helping the unconscious victim, the attacker steals her car.
Now he has her name. Her address. And he knows about her children.
The next night, Cassie’s husband disappears. Are these events connected?
As she searches for answers, Cassie discovers that nothing is as random as it seems, and that she is willing to go to the most terrifying extremes to save her family.
