Psychologist and popular radio personality Taylor Halstead is terrified that she'll never be safe again. Her world was violated when Gordon Mallory -- her cousin Stephanie's wealthly, sadistic boyfriend -- attacked Taylor in her own apartment . . . and then swore he'd be back to finish the job when the assault was interrupted. Even Gordon's death soon after in a mysterious yacht explosion cannot calm her, especially since Stephanie was also destroyed in the blast. And now Taylor's life has become a waking nightmare, with threatening messages arriving via e-mail . . . and an electronically disguised voice on the telephone promising he'll be coming for her soon.

The only one she can turn to is attorney Reed Weston -- her confidant, protector, and, ultimately, her lover. Someone out there wants Taylor dead. He's coming closer. And she has nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
