Now that he is living his 21 year-old-life again, Caleb soon discovers that the woman he loves lived a very different life before she met him. He finds her working behind a bar instead of in school, with piercings adorning her face and colors in her hair, the complete opposite of the Lennox he once knew. And her attitude is one to match. Even just getting her to hold a conversation with him is a struggle.
But as the weeks pass and they get closer, Caleb realizes that Lennox's life contains dark secrets. Secrets of her life that Caleb never knew. As Lennox's deals with issues from her own past, she confides in Caleb that someone is following her.
With a trail of assaults on sorority girls leading their way, Caleb and Lennox work together to find a killer, falling in love again, and learning to cope through the loss of losing someone they love.

Duncan
▶ Kiana: For the past handful of years, hiding behind anonymous words suited me just fine. I could twist them, expressing myself, and know that people found something of themselves when they were sung. But anonymity is no longer possible. As much as I want to, I can't keep my head buried in the sand and ignore everything around me. Ignore the past and its importance. I'm stepping out of the shadows, in part because I don't have a choice. The other part, though... Because I want to take the plunge and see what's on the other side. Most of all, find my heart again and get things right this time around. However, it's soon apparent that not everyone is in agreement with this new development. I guess I'll see just how many potholes I'll find during this journey. ▶ Duncan: Most people think I have everything I want. Most people also don't know the first thing about me, just what's out there, what I allow them to know. They don't know that fame and money means nothing without the family I've made. The family that's been incomplete for years. However... It doesn't mean I'm a happy camper when that changes, when the missing piece appears out of nowhere. First, because it forces me to face all the feelings, good and bad, that I've tried to push down. Second, because she's not quite the same... But that's okay. And third, because someone thinks they can mess with her, with us. In the end of the day, there's one thing that's as sure as the sun rising every morning: nothing and no one is stepping between me and Kiana this time.
