The Monster We Made

Harper has left a relationship that hurt her for years. Her life now looks like its opposite. Jamie is kind, patient and funny, and he makes her wonder why she stayed with her ex so long.

Then she begins to notice someone behind her. It happens too rarely to report and too vaguely to describe, but often enough that she can no longer call it coincidence.

Harper is fairly certain who it is. She is just as certain what he plans to do now that she is happy.

The story stays close to Harper, and everything on the page is filtered through her view of the situation, a view shaped by what she has already survived. That makes it a psychological suspense told from one anxious point of view.

She also has a decision to make about Jamie, who currently thinks she is uncomplicated. She has to settle how much of her past to tell him, and when.
