Four years ago, a young heiress survived an attack that claimed the lives of both her parents. The crime made headlines all over Los Angeles, both for the vicious nature of the killings and the seemingly random nature of the attack: nothing was stolen, and the van Aust family had no obvious enemies.

Soon, Rainey finds herself falling down the rabbit hole of Meliaâs life. Her quest to find Meliaâs stalker will bring her in contact with disgraced royals, seedy neighbors, violent ex-boyfriends, and former staffâeach one with their own secrets. As the threats against Melia escalate and the two women are drawn together, itâs only a matter of time before another victim turns up...
