Lucas Donahue served his time in prison and now wants to leave his criminal life behind on Boston's mean streets. The problem is that no one walks away from the gang without permission, not even one of the boss's most trusted men. Someone has already put a hit on him. Things get more complicated when he rescues Heidi Greene from an attack in the alley behind her bar. The feisty bartender knows better than to get involved with a ladies' man like Lucas, even though she finds herself drawn to him. For her own safety, she has to stay close to him after the attack. The more time Heidi spends with Lucas, the more she risks getting hurt physically and emotionally. Lucas must navigate the dangerous world he's trying to escape while protecting the woman who's becoming more important to him than his own survival.
