      Catherine:

      There are two men in my life right now; one of them I don’t want to live without, and the other, I may die from. Morty Branch has been cyberstalking me for unknown reasons for six months and just announced that he knows where I live and is coming for me. I need help—fast. And the only man I have to turn to is the man of my dreams. But who is Sergei? How is he so confident that he can take care of my stalker problem? And how do I compensate him? I don’t have anything to offer him that he wants besides my virginity—or so I think. When he comes up with a counter offer, it intrigues me. He’ll protect me ...and in return, I’ll be his for one week.

      Sergei:

      I just had a sweet, little virgin offer me her body in return for protection. Were I a lesser man, I would have taken her up on it. But I don’t take advantage of desperate women—and this one is very desperate indeed. Instead, I lay down a simple rule: I will protect her in return for her living as my own for one lovely week. Her agreement is bound to make things interesting for me as I solve the mystery of her persistent, now murderous stalker. But when my own dark side of life frightens my Catherine away, I must find and save her before Morty Branch makes his move.

      Catherine

      I'm daydreaming about my neighbor, Sergei, when I check my email and the ten new messages shock me back to reality. All are from the same sender, all have attachments, and none of them do I want to open under any circumstances. The flesh-colored thumbnails at the bottom of my screen tell me enough.

      The tall, dashing Slavic hunk who lives in the building penthouse vanishes from my mind for the first time in hours as I stand up from my desk chair. I can't deal with this right now. I leave the walk-in closet that serves as my computer nook and hurry into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea.

      I start crying a little as the tea brews in my tiny, purple, clay teapot. The tears have lots of fuel: confusion, grief, embarrassment, fear, shame, and even anger at both myself and the author of the emails. It takes a few minutes before I can force myself to stop.

      Somebody help me, I scream inside my head. I’ve changed my email address five times in six months and changed my phone number four times. The authorities know; I send them everything he sends to me, but they have never done anything useful for me.

      Morty, my stalker, started out as a friend I made online. I don't go out much at all, thanks to my health, and so I have almost no friends offline. I thought he was twenty and from my hometown back in Seattle. He told me that he was a fuel engineer at a plant my father used to own. He claimed that he got curious about me when I managed to make the papers a few times with my art.

      Morty was polite and intelligent, completely unlike all those nauseating creeps I always end up blocking. He responded in ways that made it clear he was actually reading what I wrote and cared about my point of view. He made me feel safe, and so eventually, we got to exchanging —pictures—just normal ones, no nudes.

      I'm shy about cameras. There's nothing particularly bad about my appearance, except of course for how young and vulnerable I look. I'm five-foot-nothing and slim, with wavy chestnut hair, pale skin, and big, light-brown eyes.

      His photos show a guy a little older than me, who is a little weak-chinned and chubby, but kind-faced, with big, brown eyes and spiky, brown hair. He apparently liked nineties-era vintage clothes, including loose, light, stonewash jeans and trench coats. Not gorgeous, but I didn't care, especially at the time.

      Not everyone can be the mysterious, wealthy man upstairs, whom I wish I could go back to daydreaming about again. I could have walked around in a happy haze this evening and gone to bed hugging my pillow and wondering what Sergei's thick, black hair smells like. Instead, here I am dealing with Morty's shit.

      Again.

      We spent almost a month corresponding online before he did anything ... off. But when he removed his cloak of civility, what a monster was revealed beneath. I don't know what exactly set him off after the end of that first month. I wasn't dating anyone else, so it wasn't jealousy. I didn't have an argument with him, do anything that he could possibly find insulting, or blow him off. But one day, out of the blue, he emailed me calling me a rich, crazy whore and told me that he wanted to fuck me with a knife.

      I didn't believe it was Morty at first. It was such a complete change from the personality he had shown before that I was sure that someone had hacked his account! But no such luck. As soon as I wrote him on his Facebook to confirm, he repeated his horrifying threat, along with several more.

      I was so shocked that I reported him at once, blocked
