Expire

Alone, held captive, and left in the dark, a womans worst fears come true in this gripping thriller by the award-winning author of Expose.

San Francisco medical examiner Annabelle Schwartzman has spent eight years looking over her shoulder. Stalked by her vengeful ex-husband, Spencer, shes always known theyd meet again. Has her nightmare come true? Abducted, blindfolded, yoked, and tethered, shes being held prisoner in an isolated cabin in Idaho. But its the unknown that terrifies Annabelle now. Because the mans voice in the dark, though eerily familiar, is not Spencers.

Annabelles partner and lover, Inspector Hal Harris, knows in his gut that Annabelles disappearance is tied to the past. Except Spencer is fifteen hundred miles away. To save Annabelle, Hal is tracking every move Spencer makes. But is it drawing him closer to finding Annabelle? Or is it luring him farther from her desperate cries for help?

As a cruel game of retribution begins, Annabelle must rely on her wits, her will to survive, and a plan of escape. But time is running out. And her captors three chilling words make her fear that the worst is yet to come: sweet dreams, Bella.
