A killer is hunting, seeking her...
When a criminal threatened to kill Megan Cash if she testified against him, she didn't back down and made sure her testimony put this killer behind bars. Years later, he's out of prison and ready for revenge against Megan and her critically ill daughter. Megan does the only thing she can do with a child too ill to move. Stand her ground at the hospital to protect her daughter.

Will he succeed in making this a Christmas she won't live long enough to enjoy?
Soon, Reid Maddox, former FBI agent and Shadow Lake Survival owner arrives to help, and Megan doesn't have to go it alone. If she chooses the help of the man she once dated. Their relationship ended badly and she isn't eager to get involved with him again even in a platonic way. But Reid isn't the same man she once knew—he's now a widowed father with a harrowing past and a heart more guarded than ever. Still, he's the only one who believes Megan when she says she's in danger, and he'll do whatever it takes to keep her and her daughter out of this killer's clutches. With her daughter's life on the line, she has no choice but to turn to him for help.
