Gone

She turned her back for one second. Now they're trapped.

Elizabeth thought she'd planned for everything. Her son's rare seizure disorder meant constant routines, strict safeguards, unbreakable structure. But one brief stop at a gas station shatters her fragile world.

In a heartbeat, her car is hijacked—with Timothy still inside.

She throws herself into the moving car, but that's only the beginning of the nightmare. As hours stretch into days, they're held captive in a remote, crumbling house—cut off from everyone. No phone. No medication. No help.

Elizabeth must keep her son alive while navigating the volatile mind of the man holding them captive, and her own spiraling fear.

Because Timothy is running out of time. And she's all he's got.

A pulse-pounding psychological thriller exploring maternal instinct, survival, and the harrowing choices we face when everything we love is on the line. The first book in the emotionally gripping and nerve-shredding When Bad Things Happen series.
