Watch Me

A divorced professor and struggling author gets a dangerous amount of attention from one of her students in this dark and twisted psychological thriller—“Riveting, chilling, and page-turning. Be prepared to stay up all night” (Lisa Scottoline, New York Times–bestselling author).

“Hauntingly realistic . . . A powerful critique of a superficial society in which only those with youth and beauty command notice.” —Publishers Weekly

Kate Youngblood is disappearing. Muddling through her late thirties as a creative writing professor at Blackwood College, she’s dangerously close to never being noticed again. The follow-up novel to her successful debut tanked. Her husband left her for a woman ten years younger. She’s always been bright, beautiful, independent, and a little wild, but now her glow is starting to vanish. She’s heading into an age where her eyes are less blue, her charm worn out, and soon no one will ever truly look at her, want to know her, again.

Except one.

Sam Grist is Kate’s most promising student. An unflinching writer with razor-sharp clarity who gravitates towards dark themes and twisted plots, Sam has a raw talent that something Kate wants to nurture into literary success. But he’s not there solely to be the best writer. He’s been watching her. Wanting her. Working his way to her for years.

As Sam slowly makes his way into Kate’s life, they enter a deadly web of dangerous lies and forbidden desire. But how far will his fixation go? And how far will she allow it?

“Sharp, twisted, and seductive.” —Jennifer Hiller, author of Jar of Hearts

“Mesmerizing and provocative . . . impossible to put down.” —Paula Treick Deboard, author of Here We Lie and The Drowning Girls
