Five years later, Rory lives in remote Point Roberts, Washington with her daughter, still afraid someone wants them dead. She never told Liam about their child. When Liam tracks her down, he discovers he has a daughter and demands answers. Someone in Rory's family might have orchestrated the wedding attack to claim Liam's share of the Bastian fortune. As Rory and Liam work past their distrust to find the truth, Rory knows someone is watching her. The killer who destroyed their wedding day still wants revenge.
