FBI special agent Julianna Jameson is a top-notch negotiator who has never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of her much younger sister, Dottie, who showed up unannounced to live with Julianna while she finished her senior year of high school.
Clay Fox left the army after a tragic incident. Now he's working as a high school resource officer until he can figure out what to do with the rest of his life. Their paths cross when Julianna is called in to negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister. Clay invites her to speak at his school, Dottie's school. If Julianna and Clay can't figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and Dottie is next in line.
