We encounter few defining moments in our lives. Samantha Harris was twelve when she and her best friend were abducted. Sam escaped. Cindy didn't. Sam grew up to become an FBI agent with the intent to put bad guys behind bars, and to silence Cindy's screams that still echoed in the dark places of Sam's mind. But Sam lost control and fell from grace.
She moved to the West Coast, where she resurrected her life in Portland, Oregon, and started her own company, Harris Securities, as a corporate security specialist. She meets a man, and life is going fine, until two things happen: she falls in love, and a widow knocks on her office door wanting Sam to find her husband's killer. Never one to turn away from an opportunity to right a wrong, Sam finds herself accepting the job. But the closer to the truth Sam gets, the harder someone guns for her, and that's the last thing she needs, death by association.
