Simeon Carver is a fractured man with one overriding mantra to guide him. The promise he made to his dying parents-that he would attempt to forgive the person who stole his existence-is real. Daughter of the Secretary of State, Nadine Porter, the mentally unstable woman who framed him is the sole constant in his splintered life. But shortly after she picked him up outside Leavenworth Penitentiary and the two feuding souls began their impossible attempt at reconciliation, she was abducted. He would have never imagined it but losing her nearly paralyzed him. But with help Simeon found Nadine. Now the two of them are unlikely allies in the quest for answers. And this time the search may cost Simeon his life. Balancing the search for those responsible is complicated by Nadine's mental state and her reckless infatuation with Simeon. Unpredictable and incurably obsessive, her inability to control her actions and subdue her unsettled mind endangers everyone involved as the mystery leads an unlikely group of souls with their own hidden pasts toward places none of them could have predicted.
