When Grace Elland was 16 years old, she discovered a murdered body in the basement of a boarded-up asylum. The incident has affected her life ever since. Now, she's found the dead body of her boss, Sprague Witherspoon, in his Seattle bedroom. Sprague is a motivational speaker and founder of the positive-thinking The Witherspoon Way organization. He's been murdered and the killer left behind an identical clue from the first murder scene Grace experienced. It can't be a coincidence. Is someone targeting Grace? When it's discovered that a large amount of money from Sprague's business is missing, Grace comes under even more scrutiny by officials.
With her life in shambles, Grace goes home to Cloud Lake, Washington. She's trying to think in a positive way, as she's been taught, while figuring out what to do with her life. After a blind date with Josh Arkwright, a rich and powerful financier, Grace's life becomes even more complicated. Since Josh is a close friend of the local police chief, Grace fears Josh has ulterior motives. Indeed, he does, but they have nothing to do with the murder case and everything to do with the passionate feelings he immediately has for Grace. When Josh realizes Grace is being stalked, he becomes her protector. The more time they spend together, the more intense their desire becomes for each other. Will Josh find the culprit before it's too late for Grace?
