He knows he failed her once before. This time he's determined to protect her by any means necessary…

Caroline can finally face down her past by helping Zane catch this perp. And she'll give Zane all the passionate healing he needs to show they have a future together. But a danger they never saw coming will turn their second chance into a lethal, inescapable trap…
