Matthew Wilson is an anxious, introverted librarian with an amazing fiancé Hugh, or at least he thinks so. But his world unravels when he's kidnapped by Chanse Collins, who claims to be a detective and tells Matthew that Hugh is plotting to kill him.

Matthew is forced to abandon his carefully planned life, including caring for his comatose mother and preparing for his wedding. Instead, he finds himself on the run with a stranger he isn't sure he can trust.

As the two cross the country in search of safety, Matthew begins to question everything he thought he knew -- about Hugh, about Chanse, even about himself. Torn between love, fear, and survival, he must uncover the truth before it's too late. Is Chanse his savior? Or will he end up becoming Hugh's victim after all?



From a small town in Alberta, Canada, M.R. Willier has always had a love for reading, writing, and finding ways to leave chapters on cliffhangers to purely annoy her friends and family. She now focuses on writing suspenseful, romance-driven books.



When she isn't plotting her next book, she's on the phone with her boyfriend, trying to convince him they do need a cat army. She also has tendencies to be overly sarcastic to annoy her siblings and spoils her cat son Aries every chance she gets.
