Cora Evans will do anything to save her father. Jerry Evans has been accused of embezzling a million dollars from his employer, who plans to hold both Jerry and Cora hostage until the money is returned. Cora's only hope to save their lives, and find out what really happened to the money, rests in trusting the employer's son, Nick Halloway.

But, who is Nick really trying to help? Is he just using her emotions against her to help his father? Are all Nick's efforts to keep her safe just a ploy?

When Cora becomes a suspect in her father's shooting she is forced to go on the run. It is then she realizes she has no choice but to trust Nick. She's thrust into a world of criminals and blackmail, with no guarantees that she and her father will walk away innocent.
