Don't Speak

Nikki:
I thought the nightmares had subsided until the news broke out about his escape. Now, it feels like I’m constantly looking over my shoulder. When the manila envelopes started showing up at my door, I should have run, but this town and this bar are my home, and I’m tired of running. And then there’s Dean—the new guy at the bar. He’s handsome, drop-dead fucking gorgeous, honestly. My body has this strange pull to him, one I can’t explain. Then he started acting strange one night, and I went snooping.
I wish I hadn’t.

Dean:
I’ve been obsessed since the moment I laid eyes on her. There’s a darkness in her that calls to mine. I’ve been waiting, watching her from a distance. When the opportunity finally arose, I inserted myself into her life. It’s easier to protect her if I’m closer. When he escaped, I knew I had to find him before he found her. But things don’t always go according to plan.
