Murdered. He wanted to escape his marriage, but not this way. Now he feels guilt, not grief. When his sweet but estranged wife is found dead, Vance moves to San Diego, about as far away from his old resident as possible, and runs smack dab into a girl from his childhood past. Nora Caton is a high-powered lawyer, exquisitely beautiful and erotically wild. She's never forgotten that Vance helped her once many years ago. Now she's there for Vance in his time of need. Vance remains under the scrutiny of a San Jose detective investigating the murder when an unexpected witness is discovered. It's Vance's new hot love interest Nora who helps shift the guilt of the murder where it belongs. But will Nora save the day or send Vance's long-desired happy ending eventually come crashing down on him?
