Kat Russell narrowly escaped death at Dirk Crowe's hands six years ago. He's out of prison. To protect her family, she must flee Philadelphia-the only home she's ever known-with her five-year-old son, Timmy. Is Wisconsin far enough away to escape evil? Chase Merrick, father of Timmy's new best friend, wants to help. What is Kat hiding? Why does she insist she must face whatever it is alone? When can Kat stop constantly looking back over her shoulder? Will secrets and shame stop her from accepting Chase's protection? Or unite them in the face of danger to keep their sons safe?
