The Quiet Control

Anna is dead. Daniel lied. Emma disappeared.
And Tessa is done accepting anyone's version of the truth.

Daniel Hayes says he didn't kill Anna.

Maybe he didn't.

But he knew her. He lied about seeing her. He helped her disappear. And when the police started asking questions, too many pieces of the story led back to him.

Then Emma finally tells Tessa what life with Daniel was really like.

He never told her who she could see. He just made her feel guilty when she did.

He never demanded the keys to her bookstore. Somehow, she simply ended up giving them to him.

He never needed to threaten her.

He only had to make her doubt herself.

Now Emma is hiding, Daniel insists someone else was hunting Anna, and Tessa begins to notice something that doesn't fit: a blurred face in an old photograph. A car sitting outside Emma's building. A dead woman who had been terrified of a man no one can name.

The closer Tessa looks, the worse the picture becomes.

Because Daniel may not be the only dangerous man in Emma's life.

And some secrets only stay buried while nobody looks too close.

The Quiet Control: Don't Look Too Close is the second book in The Quiet Control series, a psychological thriller about coercive control, buried secrets, fear, obsession, and the terrifying moment when the person you blamed may not be the only one you should fear.
