Ten years ago, Shailyn Murphy survived a nightmare that nearly destroyed her life. After a brutal assault by a sadistic serial rapist left both Shai and her partner, Margot, shattered, she spent years trying to outrun the trauma that followed her long after the monster was caught.

Now living in a quiet Wyoming town and leading the local Crime Scene Unit, Shai has finally begun to rebuild her life. For the first time in years, she feels something she thought was lost forever, hope. Her growing connection with Detective Danika Petterson awakens emotions Shai buried deep beneath her scars, and the possibility of love slowly begins to break through her guarded heart.

But peace is short-lived. When two gruesome murders shake the community, the crimes bear chilling similarities to the attack that changed Shai's life forever.

With danger closing in and the killer growing more unstable by the day, Shai and Danika are forced into a deadly race against time. To survive, Shai must confront the horrors of her past before they consume both her future and the woman she's beginning to love.
