A novel about a mother and daughter, ambition and romance, and a past trauma rekindled by a terrible threat...

From the New York Times bestselling author

Adrian Rizzo was seven years old when he first met his father, who nearly killed him earlier that day before Lina, his mother, intervened. Soon after, Adrian moved to his grandparents' house in Maryland, where he spent a long summer drinking lemonade, playing with the dogs, making a new best friend... and experiencing the thrill of first love with his girlfriend's ten-year-old brother. Meanwhile, Lina toured the country, promoting her fitness brand and growing it into a billion-dollar business. There was no point dwelling on the past.

Ten years later, Adrian, following in Lina's footsteps but trying to maintain creative control, produced his own yoga and exercise videos. Like her mother, she is cool-headed and ambitious. They're not close, but their relationship is cordial... as long as they don't cross paths.

But while Lina dismisses the death threats her daughter receives almost routinely as her popularity grows, Adrian can't help but find the diabolical rhymes unsettling. They keep coming year after year. The postmark changes, but the menacing tone remains the same. She also gets them after she returns to Maryland and reunites with Raylan, her childhood sweetheart, now a grown man with green eyes more charming than ever. Sometimes it seems that threatening messages are really just routine and nothing will come of them. Until the murders start and the excitement builds.
