Detective Mark Meachum knows his time is running out. Yet he refuses to stop working-because his latest case is the one he can't afford to lose. A human trafficking ring has surfaced in Los Angeles, hidden behind shell corporations and polished charity galas. But when the investigation exposes a name he never thought he'd hear again-Morgan, the woman he once loved and destroyed-Mark's world fractures. Morgan Shaw has built a flawless new life: wealth, elegance, a powerful husband whose empire seems untouchable. To everyone else, she's the perfect wife. But is she? When her husband is taken into custody and Morgan herself becomes a suspect, she's forced into a collision course with the man who broke her heart-and now holds the power to save her or bury her. As Mark digs deeper, the line between duty and desire blurs. Every secret he uncovers drags him closer to the truth, but also closer to Morgan-reigniting a passion that never really died, one that could either save them or ignite everything around them. Time is running out. For the case. For the victims. For Mark himself. And in a city where nothing is what it seems, the countdown has already begun.
