A cam girl confronts her deepest fears and darkest desires in a twisted tale of temptation, torment, and revenge by the bestselling author of Love & Ruin.
I should've called the cops, but something inside--some twisted, sick, dark part of me--didn't want to. Because for one depraved moment I was entirely lost to sensation. My brain switched off, my body handing itself over to Death to do with me as he pleased . . .
Ella needs a lot of money--and fast. So in the privacy of her home, she opens her laptop, hits Record on her camera, and brings herself to ecstasy for an audience of anonymous men online. No one knows what she's up to, not even her best friend, Cami, and Ella desperately wants to keep it that way.
But one of her clients has become obsessed with her, and now he's offering to pay a small fortune for a live performance. What Ella doesn't know is there's someone already watching her in real life--from inside her bedroom as she sleeps . . .
After hearing news reports about a serial killer on the loose, Ella keeps her doors and windows locked. But knowing she can't hide forever, she lets Cami drag her to a club, where she meets Sebastian, an Australian bartender who sends lightning bolts of desire through her body.
Soon, she's torn between her budding relationship with Sebastian and a compelling secret life that brims with danger and verges on madness. She's losing all control . . . while, in the shadows, one man tracks her every move. If she lets her guard down at the wrong moment, the consequences could be brutal.

"In the Shadows . . . is an addiction, a siren song that beckons readers into its inky embrace, refusing to release its hold even after the final page is turned." --World of Books 65
