Summary: After a chance meeting with a stranger shattered her life, Lisa Reisert is finally recovering. With a newfound confidence in herself, she begins to make the most of each and every day. Then people connected to her start to die…

Now Lisa's on the run in an elaborate game of cat and mouse where the losers die.

Prologue

Sunlight filtered through the clouds and struck Lisa Reisert's red-brown curls as she stepped out a store in the busy shopping center in the heart of Miami. She threw up a hand to shield her green eyes from the bright sunlight as she dashed towards the parking lot.

That's when the shooting begin.

Screams echoed around her and the other shoppers dove to the ground; some hit and bleeding. Others were panicking and Lisa did her best to try and reassure the various groups hunkered down nearby. Her managerial skills were in overdrive and she was doing her best to calm and comfort the frightened people around her as she dug in her purse for her trusty cell phone.

Time seemed to have stopped as she scanned for visible signs of a gunman and waited for the 911 operator to pick up. Lisa also sought better cover from bullets as the gunshots continued to ring out.

In a moment of shear stupidity, she stood up and prepared to dash back towards the stores. But then a man with an intense blue-eyed gaze and long brown hair grabbed her by the shoulders and yanked her roughly to the ground. A bullet whizzed towards them and struck her cell phone as gravity brought her crumbling down with him.

"Stay down, Leese," he hissed and Lisa gasped in surprise. It had been at least a week since had consciously thought of him.

"J-Jackson?"
