Years ago a series of accidents which came close to death plagued Kassie Montgomery when she lived with her grandfather after her parents' car crash. Heiress to a family fortune, she couldn't get anyone to believe someone was trying to kill her. When she dared not remain another day, she stole away in the night, cutting all ties with home and family, and going where she hoped no one could ever find her.

Eight years later private investigator Jake Lancaster of Elite Security takes the job—locate the missing heiress and return her to her family. Which might be harder than anticipated when he shows up at her house to face down a shotgun wielding Kassie.

Yet when killers threatened again—this time in her own home—she agrees to return on her terms to solve the mystery once and for all — who's trying to kill her?
