You Always Kill the One You Love
Dan thought he'd gotten away with murder. But did he?
Dan believed he and Sandra were soul mates—until she betrayed him. Now, with her blood on his hands, he's on the run, desperate to reach a remote cabin where he hopes to disappear. But his plans unravel when he encounters Babe—a woman who looks exactly like Sandra, but damaged, lost and unable to remember her past. As they travel a dark highway together, Dan must decide: is Babe the second chance he's been hoping for—or a figment of his tortured mind, or something far more terrifying?
Content note: An unreliable narrator. You'll be guessing what's real until the epilogue.
