Enter the Nightmare

Alice Radstone spent years in the sheltered world of the Ballantine Academy, teaching in quiet safety. Then her mentor died, she lost her place there, and she had to make a new life in the city. It has not gone well. Her first visit to the Hotel of Dreams ended ten months ago, when she woke in the locked ward of a hospital for the criminally insane. The staff told her she had killed her husband on their wedding night. Alice remembered no husband and no wedding, but she got out, and she swore she would never be taken back.

Now the life she built after her escape is coming apart too, and it has driven her back to the one place she should have avoided. She is crouched in the shadows of a hotel room with a corpse in the shower. Two masked men are moving toward the bed, and they have come to kidnap her, again.

Then Owen March appears. He is dangerous and hard to read, and he says he has come to get her out. Alice has no better option than to go with him, though she can't be sure he isn't just another kidnapper. As the killer closes in on both of them, they have to decide whether to trust each other. The attraction crackling between them may be the only thing that gets them out of the hotel alive.
