About this book

One night four seemingly unconnected lives intersect: Peter Morgan, released after four long years in prison and vowing to redeem himself in his daughter's eyes; Carl Waters, a convicted murderer set free; Ted Lee, a San Francisco police detective who has been living for his job and falling out of love with his wife; and Fernanda Barnes, a mother of three children, left with debt she cannot repay after the death of her brilliant husband. On the night their lives collide, Fernanda's world is shocked by a devastating crime that brings Detective Ted Lee into her life. Racing against time, she must draw on strength she never knew she had if she hopes to save her family.
