Shelby Campbell has a secret she's kept from her friends and her newly found family. She's a victim of domestic abuse, hiding from her psychopathic ex-husband. She hopes to leave her past—and her ex—behind when she moves to Morris Springs and changes her name. She thinks she's left no trail for him to follow, but she quickly discovers her ex is more resourceful than she gave him credit for.

Tommy Bell is the sheriff of Morris Springs and it's his job to keep Shelby safe. He has no idea how determined her ex-husband is to make sure that if he can't have Shelby, no one can. When Shelby leaves the protection of the Triple S to save her son, Tommy has to find her, before it's too late.
