Sylvia Ramsey has spent years believing that Cedric Ramsey is the love of her life. They grew up together, share the same last name, and in Sylvia's mind, their future has always been inevitable. So when Cedric announces at an elegant dinner that he is engaged to another woman, Sylvia's carefully controlled world fractures.
But Sylvia is not a woman who handles rejection well.
Obsessed with order, perfection, and control, Sylvia has built her life around strict routines and an immaculate white world-including her clothes, her home, her car, and the rose bushes she refuses to prune. Beneath that perfection, however, is something far more dangerous: intrusive thoughts she has spent years trying to suppress.
Now Cedric's fianc e, Camden Braxton, has become the obstacle standing between Sylvia and the life she believes belongs to her.
Sylvia begins preparing for her own wedding, even though Cedric has chosen someone else. She watches the couple, follows their movements, and convinces herself that removing the problem will restore everything to the way it was supposed to be. When an innocent encounter ends in violence, Sylvia discovers how easily her fantasies can become reality-and how difficult it may be to stop once she crosses the line.
