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?

It’s no coincidence when Grace Elland finds a vodka bottle
next to the lifeless body of her boss, motivational
speaker
Sprague Witherspoon. The bottle is a terrifying—and
deliberate—reminder of the horrors of her past.
Grace retreats to her hometown to regroup and tries to put
everything she’s learned about positive thinking into
practice—a process that is seriously challenged on the
world’s worst blind date.
Awkward doesn’t begin to describe her evening with
venture-
capitalist Julius Arkwright. She has nothing in common
with
a man who lives to make money, but the intense ex-Marine
does have some skills that Grace can use—and he’s the
perfect man to help her when it becomes clear she is
being stalked.
As Witherspoon’s financial empire continues to crumble
around them, taking a deadly toll, Julius will help Grace
step into her past to uncover a devious plan to destroy
not
only Grace, but everyone around her.
