She's everyone's favorite girl, the one the guys love to hang with, the one girlfriends confide in. The perfect sister, the best buddy, the perennial optimist. But Mandy Monroe has grit-bravery to face down an armed gunman, strength to protect the ones she loves, and the tenacity to go after what she wants. What she wants is Marcus Reed, the brilliant young entrepreneur she's had a secret crush on for years, who, against all odds, is now one of her roommates. The only problem? Marc obviously doesn't want her. Marc Reed is one of the good guys-he's worked hard and been phenomenally successful. He's got friends who loved him before he had a dime, and he's slowly built a trusted circle he thinks of as family-those few friends who make up for the one he didn't acquire in the usual way. Except for Mandy-no way will he ever consider her a sibling, but it's an impossible love for a man with too many secrets.

He's committed murder-the same woman, night after night in his dreams-but he can't remember who she was or when. And he has no idea if he'll kill once again.
