As beautiful as she is wealthy, Danni Giardini gets the worst news of her life when she learns that her husband has gone missing in a tragic plane crash. While in the midst of her mourning, she meets the handsome, charismatic Eddie, who makes such an impression on her that she hires him to be her gardener and maintenance man. Little does Danni know, though, Eddie has a dark, disturbing secret – and when he develops an obsessive attraction to her, it could just end up costing her her very life...

Loaded with compelling drama and suspense, Never Trust A Stranger is quite the chilling read. In it, author Jamie Cortland introduces the reader to the dark realities of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), an often devastating mental illness affecting the lives of far more than those of its afflicted victims. Skillfully avoiding portraying Eddie as a malicious agent of evil, Cortland nonetheless does an effective job of displaying the terrifying damage caused by his obsessive quest to own Danni mind, body, and spirit; as such, her story serves as a cautionary tale of the dangers of befriending strangers – regardless of how warm their smile or how pleasant their demeanor may be.

Rife with a host of surprising twists and turns, Never Trust A Stranger is an eye-opening reminder to always be wary of whom you give your trust. An entertaining – if not slightly frightening – read.
