In this suspenseful, dark-romance sequel that blends Ready or Not with You, he hunted her for leaving—now she’s hunting him right back.

Morgan Steele came to the snowy Berkshires with her two best friends for a stay at the Namaste Center, a luxury wellness retreat for elite women, to get away from her cheating ex, Noah Barron. But one week later, her friends are dead, and she’s on the run from a gang of patriarchal killers called Sanctum Victus. Because the Namaste Center was no wellness retreat . . .

No, it was a trap set to punish Morgan for breaking up with Noah. Noah who’s been stalking her since the day she left. Noah whose family trained him to kill but who’d never managed to follow through before. Noah who can’t decide if he wants his target dead or just completely under his thumb.

Now, Morgan is stranded in the freezing woods, haunted by the father she left behind long ago and
hunted by men who believe her independence is a crime. But she’s fighting for more than her own life: she’s pregnant with Noah’s baby. And with her friends already gone, she’s next in line to be eliminated.

Morgan’s far from a helpless victim though. In fact, before she was Morgan, she was swamp-raised survivor Tammy Lou. She’s been hunted before. She’s killed before. And this time, she’s going to make Sanctum Victus pay.

Tropes include: betrayal, isolation, secret society, hidden identity, and stalker romance.
