The Personal Assistant
I’ve reinvented myself as Lexi Graham. New name, new hairstyle, new career. New apartment in Galveston, Texas. My past is behind me, and there’s no trace of my father in my new life.
And then one day, everything changes. I lose my phone. My purse is snatched. And I get fired . . . by my best friend.
I don’t believe in luck, but I’m desperate. I’m offered a new job that very day, and it almost sounds too good to be true. As personal assistant to millionaire businesswoman Lillian Samson, I’ll have an amazing salary with impressive benefits. I know something’s not quite right about the offer, but I can’t figure out what it is. I ignore the warning bells in my head and take the job anyway.
Big mistake.
It doesn’t take long to realize something very strange is happening at Sampson Shipping. I have an impressive title, but zero responsibilities. I run errands. I don’t even answer the phone. Sometimes, when Lillian thinks I’m not looking, I catch her watching me with a strange look in her eye. Like a lion stalking its prey.
As crazy as it sounds, I think she’s taunting me.
My boss in dangerous. Even worse, she has connections to my father. And when I stumble upon a horrifying secret, I realize there’s only one way to escape the unthinkable.
One of us must die.
