Laney Knox is a 24 year old beautiful young woman who is a computer genius. She works for a company called The Delphi Center that performs all sorts of professional technological services for anyone who needs them. This includes the police, FBI and other law enforcement agencies. They also run security checks for online companies such as dating websites to make sure that the sites cannot be hacked.

Laney loves her job. But there is something in Laney's past that has turned her into a workaholic as well as someone with a rather unexciting social life. One night three years ago, Laney was attacked by a man who let himself into her house and meant to kill her. She managed to fight back and elude him long enough to escape with her life. The man was never caught and that is something that Laney never forgets. Always looking over her shoulder, she has a high quality alarm system installed in her house. Her life suits her and the last thing she is looking for is romance.

Detective Reed Novak has seen plenty of horrific crimes in his line of work. At age 39, he is divorced and starting to develop some grey streaks in his hair. There is something about the murder of Amber Abrams that tells him something really serious is going on here and that things are only going to get worse.

When it comes to light that Amber was on a dating website, Reed crosses paths with Laney. Her attack has many of the same elements as Amber's murder and she wants to make sure that the predator is caught. What Laney and Reed do not count on is the instantaneous heat that flares between them. Laney is fine with a fling situation but Reed is too aware of their age difference to make any moves in that direction.

While they are still trying to figure out where they are going personally, there are more murders to investigate. Reed does not want Laney anywhere near this case but she knows that she is the only one with the skills and information to point the police in the right direction. The problem is whether or not she will live to expose the murderer because he is closer than she thinks.
