**PROCEEDS GO TO 2ND EDITION/REPUBLISHING**
 
When Emma offered to take her emotionally distressed younger sister into the city for a sleepover, she did not anticipate witnessing a shooting down the street. What began as an escape for her younger sister quickly becomes a hostage situation.

The murderers who broke into her downtown condo are soldiers. Highly trained, secretive, and they chose her apartment to set up a stakeout. But what, or who, are they looking for? She knows they are not police, or government agents, but there is something different about them. They act confused by her technology, speak about their lives in past tense, and have the kind of clear, smooth skin every young woman prays for.

Carter, Emma's best friend and a raging conspiracy theorist, warned her about secret societies and government cover-ups. Now she endeavours to keep her sister safe from a dozen charming agents, all while protecting her own heart from their Tall, Dark, and Handsome leader.

Inspired by a dream the author had about her real life sister, which went viral on Tik Tok and put her grandmother into the hospital; this compelling story of a sister's duty, learning who to trust, and the collision of the past with the present will keep readers on the edge of their seat, craving to find the answers Emma so desperately seeks.
