Former Army brat Morgan Albright has finally planted roots in a friendly neighborhood near Baltimore. Her friend and roommate Nina helps her make the mortgage payments, as does Morgan's job as a bartender. But after she and Nina host their first dinner party—attended by Luke, the flirtatious IT guy who'd been chatting her up at the bar—her carefully built world is shattered. The back door glass is broken, cash and jewelry are missing, her car is gone, and Nina lies dead on the floor.
Soon, a horrific truth emerges: It was Morgan who let the monster in. "Luke” is actually a cold-hearted con artist named Gavin who targets a particular type of woman, steals her assets and identity, and then commits his ultimate goal: murder.
What the FBI tells Morgan is beyond chilling. Nina wasn't his type. Morgan is. Nina was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. And Morgan's nightmare is just beginning. Soon she has no choice but to flee to her mother's home in Vermont. While she struggles to build something new, she meets another man, Miles Jameson. He isn't flashy or flirtatious, and his family business has deep roots in town. But Gavin is still out there hunting new victims, and he hasn't forgotten the one who got away.
MY REVIEW:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Morgan owned a house and loved her jobs and her best friend. When she meets Luke one night she decides she likes him and they go on a couple of dates. Her best friend, Nina lives with Morgan so one night they have Luke over and Nina''s boyfriend over, for dinner.
That's when everything happens. Luke get all kinds of information off of Morgan's computer.
Nina is dead and Luke has stolen Morgan's identity racking up bills in her name. Morgan moves in with her mom and Grandmother and starts her life all over. Actually loving her new job and meeting a man. But Luke isn't done with her yet. I was so glad how much in the face that the FBI was and trying to track Luke down.
Thank you to St. Martin's and NetGalley for the book to review.
