When Gail Duncan finds herself back in her hometown with no memory and, unfortunately, dead, she’s a little confused and definitely pissed off. She decides to stay close to Ryan Davis, the hunky detective investigating her murder, and the only one that doesn’t shy away from her presence. She’s here and she doesn’t see a way out so Gail might as well try to help out on the case.

Ryan has other problems than this recent murder. He earned his honorable discharge but the past and survivor’s guilt is still with him. He has that anger thing under control, but he’s become detached, used to seeing things only in black and white, so what’s helping him with his investigation. And more important why is his apartment no longer as lonely?

Together they work on the case and learn about one another, and what they can accomplish together, in ways neither had ever dreamed.
