Chris Judge is an undercover cop on the edge who has lost everything. Suffering from burnout, he is contemplating taking his life. Ashley Marin survived a kidnapping several years earlier, and was rescued after three harrowing months by a less jaded and much younger Chris.

Now Ashley's daughter is missing, and since she is not sure who she can trust, the only person she can turn to is Chris. She is convinced that the same culprits that kidnapped her are behind Lauren's disappearance. When he reluctantly returns to Colorado to assist in solving the kidnapping, Chris finds a new purpose and a new possible love, as he and Ashley join forces with the clock ticking to locate Lauren and bring her home.

This is a taut and suspenseful story with a couple so damaged by the past that it will take a miracle for them to find Lauren and heal their own wounds. Erickson keeps the story tight and the tension in overdrive, resulting in a satisfying conclusion.
