    I want to be ordinary. To fade into the shadows where no one notices me and live a quiet life. A normal life. 
    But I am not ordinary. Not anymore. 
    I’ve been keeping a secret. From my colleagues, my friends and most importantly, my husband - who knows nothing of my past life. 
    Twenty years ago, at college, a boy became obsessed with me. Craig Lane believed he could make me love him back if he just tried harder. When I rejected him, he did something so horrifying, it’s the stuff of nightmares. All my nightmares. 
    Now I’ve been informed by Victim Support Services, that boy - now a man - has been released from prison. The news terrifies me. 
    Am I safe? Or does Craig still carry the same obsession he did when we were seventeen? I don’t know. I’ve ignored every letter he’s ever sent me.
