Beth Sutton is eighteen years old when Dominic Perdue kidnaps her. Held prisoner in a basement, she’s dependent upon him for food, clothes, and her very existence. Beth never allows herself to forget that her abductor killed his last captive. She has evidence to prove it, as well as Dominic’s own admission of murder.
Then Beth escapes…

And discovers Dominic Perdue is not a man who lets go easily. Meanwhile, despite being reunited with her family, she spirals into self-destruction. Release from her prison isn’t enough, it seems. Can Beth free her mind from Dominic’s grasp before he recaptures her?

Because if he does, he’ll kill her…

A study of emotional dependency, The Second Captive examines how love can assume strange guises. 'An intriguing psychological thriller... every chapter is saturated with substance,' says one Amazon reviewer.
