Isabel has transformed herself into an assistant district attorney who takes dangerous cases seriously. A deadly stalker threatens her life, and Paul is the only person standing between her and harm. Isabel knows Paul will risk everything to keep her safe. She also knows she still feels drawn to him despite her anger. The woman who once trusted him completely now faces an impossible choice. She must rely on the man who abandoned her while fighting her own feelings. Paul sees too late what her life was really like after he left and understands the pain he caused.
