A deliciously dark and twisted contemporary romance inspired by Rapunzel. She’s his greatest mistake… and the one he’d risk everything for. Ryder Finn is as charming as he is ruthless, and has built a life stealing from others. So when an opportunity arises to make some quick money, he takes it. Except the woman he’s meant to find isn’t just missing, she’s hiding. And Ryder isn’t the only one tracking her down. Violet Sonne’s life is a fragile balance between a failing art career, and caring for a mother slipping deeper into paranoia and delusion. Until the day Violet realises the monsters her mother fears might actually be real. Desperate, she turns to the last person she should trust–the same man who was paid to find them. Ryder may be her stalker, but he’s also the only shot she has at uncovering who’s hunting her mother… and surviving it herself. Because the closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous the lies become. And in a world where loyalty is bought and sold... can you ever really trust a thief?
