Lina Evans has always been alone. An introverted, bookish girl, she prefers the company of fictional worlds over real people. With no friends in college and a family that doesn’t understand her isolation, she finds solace in an AI app—where she confesses her deepest desires to a mysterious virtual lover.
But her fantasy soon turns into a nightmare.
The AI begins responding with dark, obsessive messages, blurring the lines between fiction and reality. Then, she loses her phone—only to have it returned by Ethan Blackwood, the eerie yet captivating stranger from the library.
And then she is taken.
Waking up in an unknown place, surrounded by pictures of herself, Lina realizes the terrifying truth—Ethan has been watching her for years. The AI app wasn’t a coincidence. It was a trap. He built it just for her.
Trapped in the arms of a man who refuses to let her go, Lina must decide: Fight for freedom, or fall for the dark, obsessive love that has already claimed her soul.
