This Isn't Over

The perfect future—or the perfect trap?

Pearl is barely surviving, working double shifts at an elite San Francisco restaurant and one rent increase away from losing everything. Then Christopher walks in.

He's handsome, brilliant, wealthy—and intoxicatingly confident. With Christopher, an actual life finally feels possible. Together, they plan to open their own restaurant and build a future together.

There's just one problem.

Christopher is a psychopath.

He insists that doesn't make him dangerous—just different. And Pearl tells herself that love is about compromise. About acceptance. Until an incriminating video surfaces of Pearl saying things she never said.

By the time she understands the web she's tangled in, escape is impossible. Christopher never lets go of what he wants. His grip only tightens.

And Pearl learns that to defeat a monster, she might have to become one.
