About the Book
This story is a standalone story from The READ-ONLY Files.
Veronica has always been too weird, too dramatic, too much.
Casey doesn’t seem to mind.
The quiet tree worker has been watching Veronica’s webcam for months, learning all the little things about her that no one else seems to appreciate.
Then he mistakes one frightened glance for a cry for help.
If You’re Scared is a high-heat psychological dark romance about obsession, attention, and one little tiny lie that gets violently out of hand.
