He's handsome, charming and exciting. And if he's a little bit possessive, so what? He's only a dream... But soon, Katie's sleeping more and more, and Heath is becoming stronger and meaner. He doesn't just want to be part of Katie's dreams - he wants to visit her when she's awake too. Katie's dream date is taking over her life and turning it into a living nightmare...
