Liv Chandler arrives in Valdez, Alaska running from a threat the police cannot stop. Charter boat captain Rafe Brodie becomes her only source of safety in this remote town. Liv carries secrets from her past that prove more lethal than Rafe realizes when he takes her under his protection. The danger follows her north when Rafe's first mate turns up murdered. Liv knows she could be the killer's next target. She must decide whether to run again or trust that Rafe and the isolation of Alaska can shield her from the violence pursuing her. Rafe faces his own choice as the body count rises. He can send Liv away to protect his crew and his business, or he can fight alongside her against an enemy neither of them fully understands. Their growing connection complicates every decision as Liv's past threatens to destroy the new life she wants to build.
