The Lonely

Moving to Boston was supposed to be Emalyn Spicer's fresh start.
A chance at a new life. All funded by her mysterious benefactor.
A man whose face she has never even seen.
But when she arrives, her OCD and the lonely refuse to let her go.
Emalyn has lived with the lonely for a long time.
She thinks it goes back further than her memories do.
She knows it goes back further than the OCD.

When she meets Sebastian, she finally lets herself believe it's possible to outrun the things chasing her from the past.
Maybe he will be a cure for the lonely.
But how do you get away from the things inside of you?
How do you cure the very foundation of who you are?

And then the unthinkable happens.

She finds herself once again trapped in the dark, once again held against her will.
Kidnapped.
Tortured.
Certain she will die.
This time, she is forced to meet the lonely head-on.
In the darkest corners of her mind, she discovers there is more to her world than she ever imagined.
She discovers that the lonely was there for her, protecting her from herself and her secrets.
Secrets that stand a chance at completely destroying her.

But he would never let that happen.

How far would you go to find yourself?
