Dual POV: Elliot, the 'nice guy' and Darren, the crazy ex boyfriend
Short chapters
Very easy plot to follow, read pretty quick as it was gripping to see how Elliot would resolve the situation with Darren and Rebecca and get Heidi back

Elliott has never thought of himself as a hero. Until one dark night he meets Rebecca, who has a man following her; would he mind pretending to be her boyfriend, just while she walks home, to put him off?

It's just a favour for a stranger - until there is a knock at Elliott's door. It's Darren, the man who was following Rebecca. He claims he's her ex-boyfriend, but it's clear that he's been stalking her. He's obsessed, dangerously so. He wants Rebecca, and he will do anything to have her.

When Elliott eventually tries to tell him the truth, Darren doesn't believe him. The only way to save himself is to get Rebecca to explain. There's just one problem: Rebecca is nowhere to be found. And now it looks like one good deed will cost Elliott everything...
