Devon Winter's mother hates her, but her stepfather tries
to show her affection whenever possible. Her stepfather's
godson, Jordan Montgomery, a few years older than Devon,
sees her as a kid sister. However, while Jordan is away
working for the government, Devon grows into a beautiful
young woman who is still very much in love with Jordan.
When she hears he's back in town, Devon plans a seduction
to show Jordan she is now a grown woman, someone he can
love. The seduction turns into a horrendous nightmare for
Devon, but with much caring and assistance from her future
boss, Noah, she magically disappears from the face of the
earth.
Seven years later, Eden St. Claire, a beautiful woman whose
scars are now only on the inside, is an operative for Last
Chance Rescue Enterprises, an international venture that
uses whatever means necessary to retrieve victims when the
law cannot. Eden's specialty is finding kidnapped children,
those sold and abused in unspeakable fashions. The horror
she experienced is deep inside her, shuttered away in a
dark part of her mind, until Jordan Montgomery shows up in
Greece.
Jordan is searching for Devon, wanting to apologize for the
way her treated her all those years ago. The young woman
who seduced him never told him she was Devon. If she had,
he never would have slept with her. He's retired from his
job with the government, is planning to marry and wants to
put the past to rest. Eden's boss has contacted him stating
he has a lead on Devon. He values Jordan's expertise and
offers him a job while Eden is working on the Devon lead.
Noah knows that Eden has to come to terms with her past or
one day there will not be anything left of the woman inside.
Jordan is startled to discover that Eden has a tattoo
exactly like Devon's. However, this cool, beautiful woman
looks nothing like Devon. Once Eden's boss assigns him to
her team and tells Jordan that Eden will find Devon, the
circumstances force her to face the past. She creates a
story of Devon's demise so that Jordan will return to the
United States. What she doesn't plan is to fall in love all
over again, to seduce him. What harm will it do to have an
affair with him before he returns home? What she doesn't
count on are the repercussions as the horrors of the past
meet the horrors of the present. When all explodes and the
lies are revealed, what will Jordan do?
