He’s in her head. And he’s not leaving.

Grace Harper spends her days finding dream homes for strangers—but her office is a nightmare she can’t escape. Bullied by younger colleagues and on a final warning from her boss, she hates her work but desperately needs to keep earning so she can save enough to escape to university.

So when executive coach Oliver arrives to help the struggling team, Grace is keen to impress him by putting her best foot forward. What she doesn’t realize is that Oliver is a deeply damaged individual who is prone to dark obsessions. And he sees something in Grace that makes her very, very special.

What begins as a series of coaching sessions soon warps into control, as Oliver positions himself as Grace’s secret guardian angel—one who knows what she needs better than she does. And if Grace isn’t fully onboard with his plans? The price of refusing is darker than she could ever imagine.

As her career, relationships, and sanity begin to unravel, Grace realizes she is being pushed to a place where she must answer one terrifying question—how far will she go to survive?
