• Something is coming...August 13, 2026

I was looking for a stranger when I found Sam.

For years, paying for companionship was easy. Safe. Temporary. It let me satisfy my needs without risking the kind of attachment that could end in heartbreak.

Then I met Sam.

He was never supposed to be anything more than another anonymous encounter. Instead, he became the one person who made me wonder if a life built on distance and carefully guarded secrets was really living at all.

But love demands vulnerability, and I’ve spent too long believing that caring for someone means eventually losing them. Walking away has always seemed easier than taking the chance.

Now I’m caught between the safety of the life I’ve created and the terrifying possibility that what I feel for Sam is real.

I’ve always known that love has a price.

The only question is whether I’m finally willing to pay it.

From New York Times bestselling author Megan Hart comes Stranger, an emotionally rich, deeply sensual novel about grief, intimacy, and discovering that sometimes the person you never expected is the one who changes everything.
