Are Skye Evans and John Brooks soulmates—or is she suffering from Stockholm Syndrome? The Masks of John Brooks is a continuation of Tamara Lynne Rector’s mystery/thriller, Skyeholm, set in the fictitious town of Braxton, Ontario. 

Detective John Brooks is a law enforcement officer with a dark side that has bubbled to the surface from his struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which led to his kidnapping of Skye and her friends. Even worse, his mental health has escalated into dissociative identity disorder (DID). 

Skye settles into her new life with John, becoming enamoured by the enigmatic detective. He’s trying to solve his last case only to discover an unsettling truth that complicates his life even further.

​During a visit to her hometown of Braxton, Skye and her friends are kidnapped from their hangout at a local park. They wake up in an attic, unsure where they are, how they got there, and who is responsible.

It doesn't take Skye long to realize that their abductor is John Brooks, Braxton’s top detective. He is also the mystery man she’s been dreaming about for the past four years. Unlike her friends, Skye can’t bring herself to hate him. Instead, she finds comfort and stability in him. He is her shelter from a troubled past. And as they grow closer, she learns that he’s been having dreams about her too.
All the psychology textbooks would say their relationship is a product of Stockholm syndrome. But Skye thinks they’re soulmates who have been brought together under unusual circumstances.

​The only question is, how far will they go to protect their love in a world that considers it twisted and wrong?
