A woman realizes her arrogant stepbrother may be the online lover she just dumped to protect him.
Five years into an uneasy coexistence with Louis Sterling, the narrator spots a distinctive birthmark that matches her virtual boyfriend Rowan perfectly. Two years of increasingly heated messages clash with Louis's daily contempt, creating an impossible overlap. She fabricated a college rejection to sever ties with Rowan, hoping to shield him from her mother's dangerous new family connections. With bags packed for escape, Louis intercepts her at the door, his threatening amusement confirming he knows far more than he should. The premise hinges on whether the man who ignored her for years has been intimately close all along, and what he intends now that her exit strategy has collapsed.
