Called home to be with his family, who see him as the black sheep, Asher must rely on every bit of his courage if he's going to help get his nephew back. But this is not an ordinary kidnapping. And the outcome will leave Asher running for his life. Former FBI agent Alec Banner buries himself in his work to forget everything that's missing in his life. His job, at a private company run by an old friend, locating missing children can be tough and brutal, but Alec is no stranger to working with the worst of humanity.

Thrown together under such difficult circumstances Asher and Alec are drawn to each other's unrelenting courage even in the face of their fears. But a relationship begun under such impossible stress can't survive. When his job is finished Alec runs from Asher and his growing feelings, but the danger hasn't passed, in fact it has only just begun. And both men will need to be brave if they are to survive.
