As the newest junior associate at a prestigious law firm in St. Louis, Zach Osborne is doing everything he can to impress his employer. Despite spending many hours pouring himself into a case that he deemed to be open-and-shut, he discovers that he missed key details that could have altered the outcome. Zach's strong sense of responsibility and his dampened pride push him to make things right, even if it means butting heads with a willful woman who blames him for the verdict in the case. Annamae Morrison has had plenty of tragedy in her life, but nothing has prepared her for the overwhelming grief she would feel in such a short time. The story she was told regarding the death of her father just doesn't add up. The devastating news causes her to do things she would otherwise never consider. When a dandy lawyer shows up at her door, Annie makes the judgement that there isn't anything good that can come in a tailored suit. Striking out on her own into the wilderness to bring a killer to justice seems like it should be within her capabilities, but Annie soon realizes that having someone along with a common goal is helpful in many ways. Along the journey, she and Zach soon realize they've both misjudged one another. Even with a murderer on the loose, will they discover love, or will their pride and ambition get in the way?
