Summary

In the dead of night, Holly Matthews—the wife of a New Orleans senator—takes her son and flees for her life. At her mother's deathbed, Attorney Merdith Rawson learns she has a sister and vows to find her.

As Holly and her son try to start over in Bisbee, Arizona, Merdith begins a desperate search for her long-lost sister. Almost instantly, she is attacked and her home ransacked as long buried secrets threaten her life and new hope for Holly and her son.
