In the hot, sulty South Carolina night, Ellis Greene was the only witness to a vicious crime that left her cousin dead and her community reeling. Now fifteen years later, the man she helped convict is out on parole ... and hell-bent on revenge

Ellis Greene remembers very little about the night of her cousin Laura's murder but she does recall the face of the murderer. She was the key witness to the crime and her testimony helped put Hollis Alexander in jail for a long time. With Hollis behind bars, Ellis should feel safe but the memory of that awful night still haunts her. Determined to free herself from the fear of being attacked like her cousin, Ellis has become an expert in self defense. However, when Ellis hears that Hollis has been paroled, she feels like a helpless teenager again - and she isn't the only one who notices that he's free. Laura's boyfriend Nate was one of the prime suspects for her murder. After the court case, many still believed that Nate was guilty and he left town to reinvent himself. Now, 15 years later, he has returned to protect Ellis from suffering the same fate as her cousin. As soon as Ellis and Nate see one another, sparks fly but Ellis hasn't let herself fall for a man in a long time and she isn't sure whether she can trust Nate. As Laura's murderer zeroes in on Ellis as his next target, she must fight to stay alive while she finally discovers her true feelings for Nate.
