When Michelle Matthews decides to quit running from her past and meet it head on, nothing goes as planned. She's hurled into a deadly mystery when her ex-best friend collapses in her arms after making a puzzling statement. Shelly then survives three near fatal misses too coincidental to be accidents and has no choice but to run again. Only this time she's running with Jacob Collier, the man she's always loved, who she originally left behind, and the last person she intended to see. Jake Collier hasn't got time to worry over Michelle Matthews's hesitance to accept his protection. Women are dying of drug overdoses, his ex-wife included. He's the lead DEA agent on his case, an intriguing mystery that has him stumped. He believes the attempts on Michelle's life are somehow related to his case, so Michelle is stuck with him. Sexual tension runs high after another fiery attempt sends the two into deeper cover, yet the hurtful truths about their pasts come out, derailing any romance that could develop. Neither is guilt free. At this point, both Shelly and Jake wonder the same thing. Even if they do survive, can they find enough forgiveness in their hearts in order to love again?
