Interior designer, and junior college professor Maddy Crain fights for the strength to stand on her own after the tragic death of her husband two years ago in a car wreck. Being the target of sexual harassment on campus forces her to seek help.

Former LA homicide detective and now security expert, David Bourland, works to protect his clients, but he guards his heart after seeing his wife gunned down. Maddy's vulnerability and independence demand all his skills as he vows to keep her safe.

Will the harasser's obsession turn deadly? Will David's fear of falling for someone who might die violently and Maddy's determination to stand on her own prevent them from admitting their love for each other?
