Doctor Fionn Kane fled to Nebraska to escape his shattered engagement and ruined surgical career in Boston. He wants simple work and zero romance in his new small town practice. Then the Silveria Circus arrives. Rose Evans has spent ten years as a motorcycle performer with the traveling show, which gives her perfect cover for her side hobby of murder. When one of her kills goes wrong and leaves her with a broken leg, she ends up recovering at the home of the town's awkwardly charming doctor. Fionn finds himself drawn to the mysterious circus performer, but Rose carries deadly secrets. As she heals in his care, both discover that some wounds run deeper than broken bones. The longer Rose stays in one place, the greater the chance her violent past will track her down. Two people running from different kinds of damage must decide if they can trust each other with the truth.
