Kill the Thing You Love

By M. R. Collings

In this twisty psychological thriller, a family man's perfect life splinters into obsession, delusion, and dangerous secrets after the reappearance of his first love--who died eighteen years ago.

Hospital exec Ethan Bell has it all: a loving wife, two children, a promising career, and a comfortable home in the Seattle suburbs far removed from the darkness of his past.

Until he sees her.

Fawn Blom, Ethan's high school sweetheart and first love. The girl who's haunted him since that fatal accident almost twenty years ago. She's here, at his favorite coffee shop--definitely not dead. And suddenly, his carefully constructed world doesn't seem so perfect.

Consumed with the promise of a second chance, Ethan's obsession with Fawn grows, deepening with each lie he tells, every erratic behavior he can't explain away. But his former psychiatrist isn't convinced Fawn is real.

As Ethan struggles to reconcile his long-held grief, the fabric of his reality slowly unravels. And if it turns out Fawn isn't actually there, everything he's built--everything he's hoped for--could disappear for good.
