She knows how to play the game. But this time, the rules could kill her.

Lauren has spent the last year surviving Stefan - the charming, volatile man who's turned her life into a waking nightmare. Every word is a trap. Every silence, a warning. She's learned how to read him. How to stay alive.

But when they settle into a quiet lakeside campground, something begins to shift. The bruises deepen. The lies slip. And the mask she wears so well begins to crack.

Surrounded by strangers, haunted by past victims, and stalked by someone she can't name, Lauren must decide how far she's willing to go - and who she's willing to become - to finally escape the man who's been both her captor and her companion.

A Veil of Innocence is a haunting psychological thriller that explores the dark, tangled space between survival and control. This chilling debut will leave you breathless long after the final page.
