When he meets Adelyn Lacrosse, a woman with more secrets than anyone he's ever known, he's instantly drawn to her. But he soon realizes that she is on the run from her own past. A past that he doesn't understand. A past that she is determined to keep hidden. When a young girl disappears on the family property, both of them are dragged into a nightmare. A killer lies in wait, with nothing but revenge on his mind. The clock is ticking. Coop and Addie must learn to trust each other in order to stay alive.
