That October in 1998 four peoples lives changed forever. A famous actor with a dark past, a U.S. Marshal with an even darker present and the little girl that is under her protection from a ruthless drug lord. One small town. Juniper. The last place any of them thought their paths would collide. A celebrity in Juniper could serve to unknowingly put Iyana and Kyra in the lens of a camera should the paparazzi get word of where the famous Rowan August ran to. And that could put them all in the crosshairs of the man hired to find and possibly kill Kyra before she can testify against her father for the murder of her mother. Why did Rowan return to the one place he so desperately ran away from all those years ago? How is Isaac Wolfe so dangerous that Iyana and Kyra have to hide in the one place he would never think to look? The one place Iyana is sure his scope of influence would never want to or think to reach.
