Tires squeal, engines roar, and Mercer comes to her out of the past. Danni Endris was realizing life in her hometown of Calumet, Tennessee was nice, but colorless and lonely. She was stuck in a rut of tending bar in the evenings and even though there had been a few boyfriends over the years she never matched the passion she felt for him. It had been ten years since Danni had seen Mercer Hawthorne. He'd left in the middle of the night after his best friend, and Danni's boyfriend, died. Now he was back. Bloody, beaten, and running for his life. Mercer finds out he can't run from his troubles, past or present and he and Danni will have to fight for their lives.
