Ex-SEAL, then mercenary, Drake Morgan, is tired of war. He's ready to make a life for himself building rather than killing. Hired as a carpenter by an old Navy buddy, he's focused on rebuilding the Lucky Lady Lodge in Montana. When he discovers bones in one of the walls, his work site becomes a crime scene.

After her best friend disappeared never to be found, Cassie Douglas chose law enforcement over law school. As a sheriff's deputy, protecting her community is her passion and her job. When the call comes to investigate a potential murder at a local lodge, she is determined to solve the case, no matter how old.

Drake teams with Cassie to find the killer. In their search, they discover clues leading to the answers and an attraction for each other neither anticipated. As they close in on the truth, the danger escalates. They must find the killer before he strikes again. Especially if the next targets are them.
