Holly Cramer has worked hard to keep the identity of her daughter's father a secret, shamed and embarrassed by the one-night stand. But when the police knock on her door searching for Creed Kershaw, she realizes his identity isn't as hidden as she thought. The fact that Creed is a person of interest in a recent drug-related murder only increases her humiliation.
When Holly's path crosses with Creed's, she is unsure whether to be terrified of him or trust him. His tenderness with their daughter makes her want to believe his story, that he had nothing to do with the murder. But then she discovers that Creed has a connection to Leonard Miller - the man who killed several members of her family and kidnapped her nephews - and things only become more complicated.
