A USA TODAY bestselling dark romance, Ready or Not is the pulse-pounding sequel to Hide and Seek, plunging Harper-Rayn into a terrifying new game where the stalker haunting her is no longer a figment of her imagination. He is real, he is watching, and he knows exactly how to exploit her deepest fears.

Harper-Rayn thought the nightmare was finally over. With the voice of her imagined stalker gone, she has begun to find something resembling happiness with Knight Slater, the protective SWAT team leader who has become her safe place. But when a masked stranger emerges from the shadows, Harper's fragile sense of security shatters.

This time, the threat is real. The stranger knows Harper's history and manipulates her fears until she can no longer tell where reality ends and the nightmare begins. When she turns to Knight for help, his doubts leave her isolated at precisely the moment her attacker wants her most vulnerable.

As the stalker tightens his grip and Harper disappears deeper into his twisted game, Knight must confront his doubts and risk everything to find the woman he loves before it's too late.
