Mixing Family Feuds, Murder and Mob Warfare is a Bad Idea.... The mob is at war on the streets of Denver, and the elite Strikeforce Investigation Team is caught in the crossfire. The heat is turned up when a madman armed with a machine gun shoots up the Morning Maven Cafe with Valerie Inglewood and her partner Charlene Brockworth in it. Dealing with the situation just got personal… But nothing is as it seems in the twisted world of organized crime. The investigators find themselves falling farther and farther down the rabbit hole of lies, intrigue, and danger that could cost them their very lives. When Valerie and Charlene are given some extra manpower - in the form of another Strikeforce investigator, and his rookie partner who just joined the team - things should get easier. But…. Life's never that simple - it turns out that the new investigator is Valerie's old flame, ex-Navy SEAL Jeff Everson, and the assignment reignites their passion for each other. Can the lovers keep their budding romance under wraps, or will both their careers be ruined when Charlene finds out they can't keep their hands off each other? Can they stay alive long enough to find out?
