If You're Reading This (Standalone Psychological Thrillers)

Love is a death sentence…

In a cold hotel room, Rachel sits on the bathroom floor, contemplating the razor and the bath she's prepared for her final moments. After months of being stalked, isolated, and psychologically tormented, death seems like her only escape.

The nightmare began after her husband's death, when Rachel joined a social app and met charming estate agent Mark at a New Year's Eve party. What started as a promising connection quickly soured, with Mark's presence haunting every aspect of her existence.

As Rachel found new love with museum curator Ollie, Mark's obsession intensified. With police unable to help without concrete evidence and nowhere left to turn, Rachel must find the strength for one last confrontation with a predator who anticipates her every move—or risk losing everything, including her will to live.

A gripping psychological thriller about obsession, isolation, and what happens when the one person who believes you is the one trying to destroy you. —————
