Someone’s turning fiction into reality…and she’s the target.

Five years ago, Emily Prior was ready to turn down the role of a lifetime for the man she loved. But Ryan refused to let her sacrifice her career for a relationship built around his deployments. So he broke her heart to save her future. Now she’s one of Hollywood’s biggest actresses, and she’s filming her new movie in the small town of Deep River—Ryan’s new home. Emily always told herself she hated him for what he did. But face to face once again, she’s not so sure that’s true. Ryan Slade did the right thing. Or at least, that’s what he tells himself every time he watches one of Emily’s movies or sees her name in a headline…which is a lot. Five years later, he’s now out of the military, working search and rescue with his team, and Deep River has given him something close to peace. Until Emi arrives. With one glance, any reason he had for letting her go dissolves and he’s questioning every moment since.

When strange accidents surrounding the movie’s cast go from alarming to lethal, Ryan’s protective instincts kick in fast. Someone’s recreating scenes from the movie in real life. Now it’s a race to find the killer before they finish their deadly script. And if Ryan fails Emily this time, he won’t just lose her to her career—he’ll lose her forever.
