FEAR CHILLS. PANIC KILLS.

It started with a simple decision. The right one, Katie thought. She still did.

As office manager, she was in charge of decorating for the annual Christmas party. It wasn't much. It never was, but she wanted to give her employees the holiday cheer they deserved. They were like family and Katie cared for them as she did her own little ones.

Which was why she made the choice. How could she have said no?

But, it had put into motion forces she didn't expect. Her simple act of kindness was devolving into a life of shame. She was supposed to be handing out snacks at her kids' games and smiles at the plant. Instead, she was lying to her police officer husband and betraying the ruthless man she called her boss.

Her small town was becoming a prison of her own making and any chance of escape was shrinking by the second. Stuck at a crossroad of fear and panic, Katie has to do something.

And quick.

Or her next secret may be her last.
