While paying their last respects to her father, widower Shelby Copeland and her daughter Eva are targeted by a gunman during the graveside service. If not for staff sergeant Aiden Finnegan, they'd both be dead. Especially since they are found again at Shelby's home. Shelby teaches fourth graders, there's no reason for anyone to harm her. Unless this is related to her deceased husband or father.
A young mother and her daughter should never be in harm's way, and Aiden is determined to keep them both safe. Yet it soon becomes clear that someone within the army national guard is responsible for these attacks, and will not hesitate to kill anyone who gets in his way. Shelby has no love for the army, even less so now that the truth has been revealed. Is it possible for these opposites to find common ground, and a future, together?
