Here he falls in love with Regina, the niece of the wealthy merchant Farneby, but, having learned selfishness and cruelty, the hypocrisy of the world, he gives his heart to the destitute, lonely girl Sally – one of the representatives of the „fallen leaves” of bourgeois society.

    A Bestselling Novelist’s book comes back to haunt her. 
    Kayleigh Carter is starting her life over above a coffee shop in Manhattan. She is also the author of the hit thriller My Legal Guardian, in which a “bad boy billionaire” plays Fifty Shades of Grey-style mind games on a female protagonist. 
    She discovers her apartment's previous tenant, a young college girl, went missing—the inspiration for her next thriller. However, someone doesn’t want her found, and she soon attracts a psychopath who is one step ahead of her, leaving messages signed XXX.

    After all the trouble he’s been in lately, mixing with the wrong crowd, coming home beaten up and scared, I thought we’d put it all behind us.

What does he know that I don’t? 
    I’m beginning to fear for his safety. What is David hiding from me? Who have I let into our lives? 
    I don’t know who I can trust. Will I ever see my son alive again?
