Little did she know that rejection was not something Malcolm took lightly. As he turned against her, she was thrown into the arms of the gorgeous detective Chris Sterling for protection. Will he be able to protect her? And will there be any place in her fragile heart for the obvious connection between them that both of them tried so hard to deny?
