Loyal. Beautiful. Professional. Impeccably organized.
Potentially lethal. Sarah Stevens is a woman with many
distinct qualities. First and foremost a butler par
excellence, skilled at running large households smoothly
and efficiently, she is also a trained bodyguard and expert
marksman -- indispensable to her elderly employer, a
courtly
gentleman whom Sarah has come to respect and love as a
father.
Then one night she thwarts a burglary in progress, a
courageous act that rewards Sarah her requisite "fifteen
minutes of fame" with the local press. But the exposure is
enough to catch the attention of a tortured soul who,
unbeknownst to Sarah, will stop at nothing to have her for
himself.
Sarah's perfectly ordered life is shattered when tragedy
strikes: her beloved employer is brutally murdered. The
detective investigating the case, assures Sarah that she is
not a suspect. Until lightning strikes twice. There's a
second killing -- and this time, despite a lack of evidence
connecting her to the crime, Sarah cannot escape the shadow
of guilt.
The only option left for Sarah is to carry on with her
life. But she doesn't realize that a deranged stalker is
luring her into an elaborate trap . . . one in which she,
once ensnared, might never escape. For Sarah soon finds
herself at the mercy of a man who will tend to her every
whim, smother her with affection, and crush her in his all-
consuming embrace.
