Detective Mitch Kane is hired by millionaire Layton Keller to find the son he's never known and the woman who took the boy fourteen years ago. But when Mitch finds them, he discovers that Alaina Chancellor isn't anything like he expected. Before he knows it, he's protecting her from determined hit men and trying to help her get her son back - but Alaina has been terribly hurt by a man in the past, and she doesn't trust anyone easily, especially a detective hired by her son's father. Unfortunately, she has no choice but to rely on Mitch, and as they race to save Jonah from his father, they discover that both their lives have been found wanting.
