Synopsis

Reverie Adams lives under the shadow of her father, a serial killer, and her only aim is to keep her head above water. Drowning is her earliest memory, and she is no stranger to it. At Hollow Canyon University she tries to build an ordinary life.

A figure from her past will not let that happen. Dreadful Sharpe, called Dread, is an Olympic-level swimmer, but medals mean nothing to him. His one purpose is revenge on the family he blames for the murder of his mother.

Dread sets out to make sure Reverie never has a quiet moment. He intends to wear her down with his anger for as long as she lives, and he has the means to haunt her every day.

Reverie's past holds more than she knows, though. Some of what she believes about it is wrong. As the two are pulled together, they edge toward a truth that may show Dread is not the only person who wants to see her suffer.
