Someone is following her. Kelsey Ingram doesn't know who or why-but she knows she's no longer safe. It doesn't matter that she left her past as a Sacramento cop behind, or that she built a fresh start for herself in her late grandmother's house near Mount Shasta. Trouble has found her-and it's poised to attack. After she escapes the first brush with danger, she knows the threat is too great to handle on her own. It's a relief when the deputy called to her aid is an old friend, Hayden Packard...and it's a thrilling surprise when they uncover long-hidden secrets in her grandmother's home. But as Kelsey's feelings for Hayden shift into uncharted territory, her anxiety begins to grow. She doesn't know if she's ready to trust again-not even if it's the only way to stay alive.
