To regain her self-confidence, she enrolls in Chane Callahan's wilderness survival course. An ex-Marine who lives by the motto Semper Fidelis, he's a man with sharply delineated views of right and wrong. He figures doing what's right ought to be easy. He discovers it's not. When an old woman arrives on Lexi's doorstep requesting help in locating her illegally adopted granddaughter, Lexi figures it's time to pay her penance. She finds herself stalked by an old enemy as she is drawn into the search for the child. Intrigue and deceit pull her into a web with Chane Callahan, who seems the one man she can trust . . . and he has secrets that could break her heart.
