Aurora Watts never could face the music: when dealing with adversity she always ended up running. True to form, after her career goes up in flames, she's headed down a dusty, barren path to nowhere when Jaxon Carter pulls a gun on her.

Jaxon, a class clown type with a secretive side, drags her in to a world of mystery and deceit, one that will try her in ways she never imagined.
Unless they find a way to work together, neither will come out of it alive. There's just one problem: both are hiding the truth from one another.
