Reinventing herself one more time, she's hired to train search and rescue teams for Fortress Security. But an unknown enemy obsessed with revenge follows her to Otter Creek.

Determined to live without fear, she accepts the help of a man from her past--now a trained soldier.

When Heidi barely escapes another attempt on her life, the elite Delta warrior vows to save the woman who has scaled the walls of his heart. Quinn must face an enemy who has prowled in the darkness for two decades.

To have a future, Quinn and Heidi must return to Black River to confront the past before their dream of a life together goes up in flames.
