From the cover:

No matter where she runs, Karen Gunderson can never run fast or far enough to escape her brutally abusive ex-husband, Kevin. Then she spots an ad for a house sitter. It's perfect. A rustic cabin in Oregon's Cascade Mountains, in the scenic community of Lake Serenity. This time, Karen vows, Kevin won't find her. Even Melanie, Karen's six-year-old daughter, is excited. What Karen and Melanie don't know is that the Bormann house has already been the scene of one violent death. Now, as mother and daughter struggle against an unseen attacker, the terrifying truth slowly dawns: they are being stalked...by two dangerous men. One is a homicidal maniac. The other is the man Karen once swore to love and cherish till death did them part...
