A Life By Design — Lucy Appadoo

When 20-year-old Elena Allegro leaves the Italian village of Laurino to study Fashion Design in Milan, she's certain her dreams are about to come true. Despite her father's warnings that risk comes with her newfound freedom, she loves her studies and develops a love interest with Francesco, the handsome young entrepreneur who offers her a part-time job in a Milan clothing store.

It seems like an idyllic situation -- until a stalker targets Elena, tormenting her with mind games and threatening her safety. In the face of escalating danger to herself and to Francesco, Elena must fight for her freedom, her love, and her survival.
