I wasn't hired for my résumé. I was hired for my bones.

Three hundred forty-two thousand dollars in debt. Forty-eight hours before the collectors took everything — including my sister's house.

Then the contract slid across the mahogany desk.

Vaughn Mercer didn't want a wife. He wanted a user interface. A woman who could wear his missing wife's clothes, sign her name, and stand in the floor-to-ceiling windows of his forty-story penthouse so the world would believe Daphne Mercer hadn't vanished.

Six months. Total debt elimination. A two-hundred-thousand-dollar bonus.

All I had to do was lose twelve pounds, dye my hair, and forget my own name.

I've been invisible my whole life. I thought I could disappear into hers.

I was wrong about the penthouse being empty.

The smart house filters the air and tracks my heat signature. The mirrors are engineered to spy. The vents hum at a frequency that lives in your teeth.

And at 2:15 A.M., when the sensors reset — the silence breaks.

Something is crawling through the ductwork above my bed. Something that steals food from a pantry only I have access to. Something that whispers my new name through the grille and knows the camera blind spots better than the man who built them.

Vaughn thinks he bought a blank slate.

He has no idea what he's invited into the walls of his home.

Now I have a choice: become the perfect wife he paid for — or trust the thing in the vents that's been waiting four months to burn it all down.

Only one of us walks out of this penthouse alive.

And the vault in the basement won't open for just anyone.
