Elizabeth LaRue is just starting her career as an FBI agent out of DC. She's tough, driven, and ready to do whatever it takes to get the job done. After all, she was born to be a Fed. Olivia Spencer is good at one thing in life-keeping her partner, Elizabeth LaRue, from burning down DC. As a Fed, she's taken an oath to protect and serve for her country. She's not going to let anyone down. Failure isn't an option. Livy always gets what she wants. Gabriel Rothschild is an up and coming power player in the FBI world. He's smart, driven, and has his hands full with Elizabeth LaRue, his star Fed, and Livy Spencer, the redhead of his dreams. Every day is a challenge with those two terrorizing the city, and he loves every second of it. Then his law-abiding world is turned upside down, and he's forced to make a choice. The Director of the FBI has spoken, and Gabe has to decide what he's willing to sacrifice. Love or career. Both choices will change his life. As the city is terrorized by the sickest killer that they've ever seen, Gabe, Livy, and Elizabeth must race the clock, save the city, and one of their own-before time runs out. Only, this case is going to change everything. The Butcher is going to leave his mark on all three of their lives, and they will carry the scars forever. Choices they make will forge the future for everyone involved-now and later... When you bend the law, you take the risk. In the end, your Past will Haunt.
