The Man Behind Her Window

By Sloane Vesper

Dark

She spent two years counting every way out of her house. She never once counted the window.

Assistant District Attorney Kelly Foster has read every page of her husband's murder file. Random shooting. No motive. No suspect. Closed by a judge who sent her a condolence note in blue ink.

She has never believed a word of it.

Then she comes home to a deadbolt that turns smoothly for the first time in months, a stair that has stopped creaking, and a plain manila file centered on her kitchen table—a witness list with three names struck through in black ink, and Ben's case number at the bottom of the page.

Someone has been inside her house.

Someone has been inside it for a long time.

Jonathan Varga has entered Kelly Foster's home forty-one times in eleven months and has never taken anything. He is the Black Vow Syndicate's surveillance architect. He knows which stair she skips coming up in the dark, how many times she has reread her husband's file, and exactly how still her hands go when she is afraid.

He did not leave the file.

Someone else did.

Now a protected witness is dead, Kelly's own badge number is sitting in the access log that found her, and the one man who can prove where she really was that night is the criminal who was watching her be there. Every clean door in the courthouse leads back to the people who buried Ben. Every door Varga opens for her is a felony she cannot undo.

She should destroy him. She has more than enough to do it.

But the man behind her window is the first person in two years who has actually been looking—and the closer she gets to what happened to her husband, the harder it becomes to tell where being protected ends and being kept begins.

The Man Behind Her Window is a dark syndicate stalker romance featuring a morally black hero, a grieving heroine who is nobody's victim, obsessive long-term surveillance, dominance and praise, an unflinching power imbalance, and a dark happily-ever-after that never pretends it was clean. A complete, self-contained couple arc set in the Black Vow Syndicate world. Intended for adult readers.
