DETAILED STORY PLOTLINES:

Anna J. Stewart:

At least that''s what Tripp Atsilla hopes after spending ten years as an officer and analyst with a special division in a federal cyber-investigation. The last few years he''s been neck deep with ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) and while he''s lasted longer than most, he''s on the brink of burnout. His last case turned into a nightmare; he was too late and someone he''d sworn to protect died. Going home feels like the perfect escape and Thanksgiving is an excellent time--his overwhelming family will be too distracted by the holiday to pay him much mind. Helping with the construction expansion of his brother''s deli/restaurant is just the recharge he needs. Striking up a friendship with one of the waitresses? Bonus.

Starting over is something Parker Rutledge understands all too well. Two years ago she changed her name and moved to a small town, hoping to leave the damage her ex-husband caused behind. She loves her off the grid life working as a waitress in the local deli, but soon the phone calls, emails, and threats begin. Someone''s found her; someone who knows who she really is. Someone who wants to make her pay for her ex-husband''s crimes. But can she trust Tripp? Can she trust anyone?

While the Atsila family prepares to celebrate Thanksgiving, Tripp finds himself tied up in knots over Parker. He knows there''s more to the woman than she''s let on and there''s nothing Tripp likes more than a puzzle to solve. When finally faced with the truth, he can only hope he''s not too late to save yet another innocent life: that of the woman he loves.
