Grace Harrison has spent her entire adult life ensuring her world is safe, stable, and routine. That includes dating men and being in relationships with men she considers safe; so much so, her best friend Jess Rider has questioned if Grace is trading passion for safety. On April 2, 2012, Grace is pressured by her homeless, drug addicted brother to seek information about their missing sister, Naomi Harding. Grace is unsuccessful in getting any information from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, but what she does get on that day is the beginning of her life being changed forever when she encounters Detective Nick Bassano. From the start, it's obvious to Grace that Nick is a ladies man, but she's drawn to him, and vice versa. Once the passion is allowed in, Grace's safe, stable, and routine world is turned upside down in a way she could've only fantasized about. And what ignites between Grace and Nick could burn Athens, Georgia to the ground. When the wealthiest couple in Athens-Clarke County is murdered in their home, Grace and Nick are thrust together professionally and personally, and Grace is asked to step into a position she's unfamiliar with. She soon discovers people she cares for are in danger, have been traumatized, and are possibly dead. The deeper she becomes involved with Nick and the job she's been asked to do, the more her life is in jeopardy from multiple people, including those she trusts intimately. She ends up on the receiving end of betrayal, and if she walks away, alive, with her heart intact, it will be a miracle.
