Eighteen months ago, ER doctor Lainie Jackson was nearly killed by Adam on the night he told her that he loved her. Instead, she was able to get the gun and kill him in self-defense. She was recently run off the road by a man who looked like Adam, but that's impossible, isn't it? When a new patient comes in with a gunshot wound, she's surprised to discover that it's James Cross, her best friend's brother and her childhood crush, whom she hasn't seen in years. He joined the army right out of high school and has returned to Lake City as a detective. He's suffering from PTSD, and he and his father still aren't speaking to one another. As Lainie opens up about her own PTSD and issues with her parents, they grow close, but Adam, or someone who looks like him, seems intent on killing her. Can they discover who is after Laine and why they want her dead? Eason's first book in her Lake City Heroes series grabs you and doesn't let you go.
