Synopsis
Celebrated Seattle restaurateur Callie James is more than a little thrown when her ex-husband, French investigative reporter Daniel Odile-Grand, shows up after fourteen years asking for her help. Even more disturbing: as she throws him out, Daniel is deliberately hit by a car, hurled through the front window of her restaurant--broken, bloody and unconscious. He flees from the hospital and breaks into Callie's apartment, where he passes out. Reluctantly, Callie hides him. When she gets back to her restaurant, two assassins walk in, insisting that she find Daniel for them by tonight or pay the consequences. Overwhelmed and hopelessly out of her depth, Callie hires the only man she knows who can help her: Cash Logan, her former bartender, a man she had arrested for smuggling ivory through her restaurant two years earlier, and who still hasn't forgiven her. The assassins blow up her restaurant. It's Callie's nightmare. And the worst is yet to come as she and her unlikely, incompatible ally discover that the most perilous dangers are far closer to home than they'd imagined.

Celebrated restaurateur Callie James is stunned when her estranged ex-husband, French investigative reporter Daniel Odile-Grand, strolls into her restaurant on what could have been any Seattle evening. After fourteen years, the story he tells is even more unlikely than his sudden appearance. As she throws him out into the darkness, her nightmare begins. Daniel is targeted and hit by a car, hurled through the front window of her restaurant--broken, bloody and unconscious...
Reluctantly, Callie hides him. Returning to her restaurant, she is greeted by two assassins insisting that she produce Daniel or pay deadly consequences.

After a vicious attack on her restaurant, Callie's world is thrown into chaos... She and Cash face international money launderers, weapons dealers, professional hit men and jeopardy at every turn. With danger in plain sight, Callie must not only save herself and her world, but also must reckon with who she is and who she must become to survive.
