As a former cop, Dodge has never been hesitant about breaking rules and doing whatever it takes to catch a criminal. But when his former lover, Caroline King, contacts him after 30 years to ask for his help with a serious matter that involves their daughter, Berry, a daughter Dodge has not seen since she was a baby, his single-minded tenacity is unequaled as he drops everything to fly to Texas.

It seems a co-worker has been stalking Berry for some time, but has now made an attempt on her life. Dodge is the only person Caroline knows she can trust implicitly to handle the matter. Joining forces with a very savvy local deputy, Dodge is resolute in his pursuit to apprehend the deranged man whose obsession with Berry is leading to more murders. This time Dodge has more to lose than ever before; the lives of his daughter and the woman he's loved and never forgotten for over 30 years are at stake -- as well as his heart.

Brace yourself for exhilarating twists and turns in this gripping tale of obsession, murder and the fragile nature of relationships as a man of flawed character confronts the sins of his past to save those he loves.
