Desperation has a name, and for Clara Robins, it's Daniel Damon. When Clara's niece, Ashlyn, vanishes while on vacation, the authorities are quick to label her a runaway.

Convincing Daniel to take the case is no small feat.
Still nursing scars from his last mission, he's reluctant to dive back into the chaos. But Clara's determination and the gravity of Ashlyn's disappearance stir something within him. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a web of lies and danger that threatens to unravel them both. Amidst the tension, sparks fly, and keeping their growing attraction at bay becomes as challenging as the mission itself.
