Helpless By Jessica Knoll

From the New York Times bestselling author of Luckiest Girl Alive and Bright Young Women comes a smoldering erotic thriller with a singular, mind-bending ending. Pull up a chair, pour yourself something warm, and settle in. This one is going to keep you up past bedtime.

It’s been twelve years since Faye Heron broke Henry Spalding’s heart. He was her college boyfriend, her first love, and the source of a connection so intense it threatened to swallow her whole. Now Faye is one half of a Hollywood power couple. Henry is a married father running the family business. On the surface, both lives have gone exactly to plan.

Then a beloved college professor passes away, and Faye and Henry find themselves back on campus, circling something old and dangerous.

Henry delivers a hypnotic apology. He suggests a drink back at the hotel. And then he drugs and kidnaps her.

What unfolds at his remote mountain cabin is a week of captivity, obsession, and a slow, seductive pull back into an old dynamic Faye has spent years trying to duplicate. But beneath the surface, a years-old mystery is taking shape, one that will rewrite everything she thought she knew and reveal an astounding, cataclysmic truth.

Knoll fans know she never plays it safe. This is a psychological thriller that smolders and then detonates, perfect for readers who love their suspense with real emotional weight and an ending they won’t see coming.

A perfect pick for a rainy afternoon by the cove, when the sea air rattles the windows and you’ve got nowhere to be. Come browse. We think you’ll want to take this one home.
