Anxiety exploded into full-on panic.

The fear of plunging into the water had forced her to relive that long-ago night of terror. But she’d made it out that night, and it had been seven years with no sign of her husband. And no indication he’d ever made it out of that lake alive.

“Who?”

All she knew was that whoever was after her wasn’t giving up. Not until he killed her.
