Retired Marine Jason Hall is a force to be reckoned with. When his six-year-old nephew, Luke, is kidnapped by his fresh-out-of-jail father, he knows there’s one woman he can count on to help in the search. The last time he saw private investigator Alexandra Macintyre, they were steaming up the windows of her black SUV. Forgetting the scorch of her lips against his hasn’t been easy, but Jay knows the crippling pain of betrayal far too well.

Alexandra is no stranger to tragedy. Haunted by her past, she seeks redemption by helping families find their loved ones, hoping their outcome is different from her family’s misfortune. But this case is personal. As she and Jay race against the clock, the road trip south pushes their limits—and reignites the passion they tried to forget.

As danger closes in, Alex must face her painful past to embrace the future she never thought possible. Can she and Jay save Luke—and take a chance on love before time runs out?
