In 1865, Lee Davison's brother went missing. He set out on his own to find him... and failed. And failed again, breaking the law and a few friendships along the way. Some years later, known as a plucky ex-convict-turned-detective with a crumbling young marriage, he comes face to face with reality: for life to change, it must first fall apart.

Work hard, play hard, protect what you love at all costs... For Eamon and Rachel, friendship has always had to be good enough. A safe distance, a guarded heart, nothing more. When Eamon's brother, Tobin, takes off after a nasty breakup, Eamon needs Rachel to help find him. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to keep the lines of friendship from blurring when they both want something more. When Tobin returns, what was supposed to be a celebratory weekend for Eamon and Rachel, somehow, turns into much more. And as scary as it is, neither one of them know how to let it go.
