I'm not who they say I am. Trust me. But can she? Reclusive novelist Aaron Westhaven, a man she's admired - and more - for years, has accepted Olivia Dupree's invitation to speak at a local fundraiser. But the day he's due to arrive, she gets a call summoning her to the bedside of a John Doe whose sole possession is her business card. Can this undeniably compelling man – survivor of an execution-style gunshot wound – really be the novelist the lonely Olivia has grown to think of as a near soulmate? If not, he can only be in ShadowFalls for one reason: to kill her. Olivia, too, has secrets. And discovering the truth about the man in the hospital bed means dredging up her own past – a past she's been hiding from for sixteen years.
