Tessa Calloway stands before another packed auditorium as fans leap to their feet. Her debut novel has become an instant bestseller, and every stop on her book tour brings the same electric response. Back home, her husband Henry and their two children celebrate from their new dream house. But someone is watching Tessa's every move. City after city, the stalker follows her, determined not just to wreck her career but to tear apart her family. Tessa knows this stems from a choice she made long ago, a bargain that felt necessary at the time but now seems like a pact with the devil. The bill is coming due. Unless she can identify who knows her darkest secrets and wants to expose them, Tessa will lose everything she has built. Her writing career, her marriage, her children, even her life hang in the balance.
