    About this ebook

    Rachel works at a suicide prevention center. Stuck in a loveless relationship with a man with OCD, she longs for something different. One night, she receives a call at the center from a strange man. He is distraught but not to the point of suicide. He describes what he wants in life and what he's missing. Soon they are talking every night and they develop a bond beyond that is strictly forbidden at the call center. Still, Rachel decides to meet the man...in secret...and finds herself in a world of danger...
