Illusion of Safety

Clara Santos

“I’m deathly afraid he’s taken pieces of me I’ll never get back.”

I thought I was safe, but it was only an illusion. I trusted the wrong person and woke up in my worst nightmare. The devil in disguise held me captive for weeks. He shattered my hope, then buried me alive. He wanted me to take my last breath in the tomb of his creation.

But I clawed my way back to life, pulled from the brink of death by him. FBI Special Agent Maverick Rhodes.

He's become my anchor, my steadfast protector. He's determined to keep me safe, to hunt the monster who will stop at nothing to get me back.

Now Maverick and his team race against time and obsession to stop the serial killer who has fooled everyone. Because this time, The Chameleon doesn't just want to finish what he started.

This time, he wants to consume me—to keep me forever.

Illusion of Safety

Maverick Rhodes

"Her determination calls to me like a tide to the shore—pulledby an unseen force in her direction, inevitable and unrelenting.”

I’ve spent months chasing a ghost—one who has buried seven victims deep within the earth. He stalks them, befriends them, lures them into a false sense of security. 

He makes them feel safe, but it’s only an illusion—a honey trap meant to hold his victims captive until he tires of them. 

And with each new victim, the crushing weight of my failure threatens to drown me.

I’ve lived my life in darkness; I’ve seen things no one should ever see. Until her—Clara Santos. The Chameleon’s eighth victim. 

When I pulled her out of that coffin, I vowed to keep her safe. But then she became my beacon—the only light in my darkness—and the case became personal. 

Now it’s a race against time—against The Chameleon’s growing obsession—to stop him from recapturing the woman who holds my heart.

Clara's Chicken Adobo Recipe

Filipino dishes are one of those cultural foods that pretty much vary based on who’s cooking. And honestly, I always end up doing something different each time I cook, especially with chicken adobo. When I make this dish, I make it by heart—I rarely use measurements any more!
