Thriller

She had a choice.

Go back to Chris — the man she'd loved since college, the one who'd made her feel chosen and diminished in the same breath. The one who showed up at her boutique three years later like no time had passed, like she owed him a hearing. Persistent. Charming. A little too sure of himself.

Or start fresh.

Rich was different. Attentive in a way that felt like fate — the kind of man who remembered the small things, who made her feel seen in a way she hadn't in years. Steady. Safe. Present.

Her friends weren't so sure. Something felt off. The attention was a little too focused. The concern a little too constant. They said it quietly at first, then louder. She heard them.

She chose anyway.

She chose wrong.

By the time Nikki understood what Rich had built around her — the careful architecture of control disguised as devotion — it was already inside everything. Her routines. Her trust. Her sense of herself. The man who told her he only wanted to protect her had become the most dangerous thing in her world.

The most terrifying decisions aren't made in moments of crisis. They're made on an ordinary afternoon when someone finally makes you feel safe.

Twelve Weeks of Love & Loss is a pulse-pounding thriller of obsession, deception, and survival — set against the backdrop of a love story that never quite let go. Nikki's fight isn't just to escape. It's to find her way back to herself.

How well do you know the person standing right in front of you?
