Piper Dove wants to prove herself as Chicago's top detective. Her first assignment puts her on the trail of Cooper Graham, former quarterback for the Chicago Stars. The surveillance job seems straightforward until Graham catches her watching him. He's not pleased about having a tail, and Piper finds herself dealing with an uncooperative target who knows exactly what she's up to. Their cat and mouse game takes them from Chicago's busy streets to a remote lighthouse on Lake Superior, then down to the waters of Biscayne Bay. Both Piper and Cooper hate losing, whether it's a case or a game. As they push against each other's boundaries, they're forced to figure out what really counts when everything is on the line.
