Emma was more frightened than she’d ever been in her life.

Her memory was spotty at best. She was filling in the edges, but a giant blank space remained at the center. The blow to her head had left her with only random dribbles of recollection surrounding the events leading to the accident.

Who had put the envelope of photos in her overnight bag—and when? They’d been placed there after the accident, that much she knew.

Someone had been watching her and wanted her to know she was exposed.

“I’m sorry,” Liam said, his expression awash with guilt. “We were supposed to keep you safe, and we didn’t.”

“I don’t blame you. Everyone did their best. I’m here, aren’t I? I survived the accident. I survived the attack.”

She’d survived because someone out there wanted her to. He wanted her alive because he had worse things in store for her.
