Tomboy - Thad Cross

Rudy Lansing is a man of structure. As a widowed architect, he knows that a solid foundation is the only thing standing between a masterpiece and a pile of rubble. He has applied that same rigid precision to raising his nineteen-year-old daughter, Kaitlyn. They have a perfect life. A safe life. An ordered life.

Until she brings home Lenny.

Rudy sees what Kaitlyn refuses to admit: the cracks in Lenny's façade. To a father's sharp eye, her new boyfriend isn't just a bad influence-he is a structural failure waiting to collapse, and he threatens to take Kaitlyn down with him.

Rudy knows he must intervene. He must reinforce the walls. But as his protective instincts harden into a dark obsession, the measures he takes to "save" his daughter spiral out of control. Surveillance becomes stalking. Intervention becomes abduction.

Trapped in a nightmare of her father's design, Kaitlyn must realize that the man who built her world is the one locking the door.

A claustrophobic psychological thriller told from the perspective of a man who believes love justifies every crime. Perfect for fans of YOU and THE STEPFATHER.
