A double homicide has left the quiet town of Country Corners reeling. Sheriff Elizabeth Bradford is shocked by the crime...and by her urge to protect the only witness--a five-year-old autistic boy. For little Jeremy, Liz will do anything--even team up with psychiatrist Dr. Adam Morgan, the former high-school sweetheart who shattered her trust.

Back then, Adam thought leaving town was his only option. He's never stopped regretting it. Jeremy holds the key to a killer's identity. And with Jeremy--and Liz--now in the crosshairs, Adam needs to find answers before he loses everything he cherishes.
