Cop Drew Hayden and ER trauma surgeon Chris Kearney have it all, mostly. They are married, have a house with a fence and a yard that needs some attention. The thing that they don't have enough of is time for each other.

Drew's career as an undercover cop working gangs and drugs is successful. So successful that Drew's about to go undercover for more than a month without being able to contact Chris at all during what may be a very dangerous operation.

Chris is always wound very tightly. Without Drew's calm as a counterbalance, Chris is in danger of falling over. Then, after what is almost Chris's worst nightmare, Chris has to confront the reality of Drew's job. So does Drew; he can't ignore what his current job asks of Chris either. Can they change things enough to keep the most important thing—their love for each other?
