Megan O'Brien receives the call every mother dreads. Her three-year-old son has been taken. The ransom note forbids police involvement. With nowhere else to turn, Meg contacts Dirk Reynolds, the bodyguard she once walked away from after their passionate but brief relationship. Dirk still carries the sting of her departure, but he cannot ignore a child in danger. He brings in Luke Brodie, a skilled bounty hunter, to help track down the kidnappers. The sparse evidence they uncover leads them deep into a dangerous network of international banking corruption and organized crime. As they race against time to save her son, Meg finds herself depending on Dirk in ways she never expected. She discovers new depths to the man she thought she knew, qualities that draw her back to him despite the chaos surrounding them. The investigation becomes a test of their ability to work together and confront the feelings they never fully resolved.
