After a romantic betrayal, naval Lieutenant Commander Roanna Brandywine doesn't trust anyone the way she used to.

When a chance encounter brings Chief Warrant Officer Miles Mikowski into her life, she's intrigued. But Ro has spent so long focusing on her career, she resists the attraction. Miles has had his own share of trauma, but it's taught him that life is short and he has to go after what's important to him.

Then, unexpectedly, they're ordered to investigate a sailor's suicide. They must rely on each other as they discover that his death is not as straightforward as it seems. During their investigation, they acknowledge the chemistry between them, but the real question is whether there's trust…and maybe even love.
