THE PERFECT ESCAPE . . . OR THE PERFECT TRAP?

TWO WEEKS AGO

I woke up in a hotel room next to a dead man, with no memory of the night before.

Panicked, I cleared up any trace that I was there and fled.

ONE WEEK AGO

I was offered the perfect escape: the chance to housesit a gorgeous villa in a remote corner of Italy.

Desperate to get away, I jumped at the chance.

NOW

The owners have unexpectedly shown up at the house. The only problem?

They're the family of the man I woke up next to, two weeks ago.

ONE OF THEM KNOWS MY SECRET.

AND THEY'VE COME TO FIND ME.
