Alex had a bad feeling about Silas Birch. She's about to find out why. At first, the only thing Silas appeared to want was money. But it's more than that. So much more. Just as Alex gets close to finding out what Tess is truly afraid of, the woman who was held captive in the tower of the Windy Hills Castle re-enters her life. She's captivated by Silas and far too curious about Alex. As the demands from both of them increase, Alex realizes they pose a double threat -- to Tess's future with Marcus and to Alex's ability to keep her secrets protected. Adding to the growing pressure, Hunter's arrival and his own long-kept secrets are bringing Alex face-to-face with a choice she doesn't want to make. Keep Hunter close, or follow her compulsion to deliver her form of justice to the man who wants to destroy Tess. With Hunter watching every move, Alex isn't sure how she'll be able to do what she does best. Continue reading Alex's story of obsession and murder today.
