After a childhood in foster care, Darius Jones thought he'd hit the lottery when he married his sweet, beautiful wife. When she was killed, his world came crashing down. Now he hides in his isolated wilderness home where he runs a successful business. Some days he's agonized by grief and thoughts that he somehow might have prevented his wife's murder.

Five years later, Darius rescues a woman about to drown in a storm-swollen creek on his land. When he asks her name, she remembers nothing about herself or her life. The only clue is her ankle bracelet with the name Mia.

As the anniversary of his wife's death approaches, Darius's anguish intensifies when he realizes he's attracted to Mia. Fighting his feelings, he wants nothing more than to find out where she belongs and send her on her way.

But as Mia starts to heal from her ordeal, she remembers the darkness that sent her running. Can a life with Darius light her way and give them a future together?
