A romantic suspense writer finds herself trapped in the plots of her own books in this sexy thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author.

A failed marriage has shown Sasha Blake exactly what she doesn't want in life: a man; and what she does want: a fulfilling career, good friends, and independence. The introverted author has found a sanctuary on Martha's Vineyard, where she can pen her bestselling romance thrillers in peace and quiet. Until Doug Donohue comes to town . . .

A world-renowned men's fashion designer, Doug is ready to put his hard-charging New York City days behind him. He's longing for something—and someone—more. Enter Sasha Blake, though skidding on her motorcycle into his Maserati one rainy night is no one's idea of a meet-cute. The accident is just the latest in a series of strange occurrences that seem to be plaguing Sasha.

Being around a man like Doug, who can enflame her desire with just a touch, throws Sasha off-kilter. But they can both agree that the freak accidents taken from the pages of her books are not coincidences. Sasha is used to creating heroines who find themselves in danger, but this time the woman in peril is her . . .
