Dr. Maria Grayson, a respected surgeon, witnesses a murder. Realizing the killer is closing in on her and anyone close to her, she makes a tough decision--accepting protection. Suddenly, Maria is plucked from a life she worked hard for-friends, family, and people close to her-for a life ahead that is unknown. Under witness protection she becomes Morgan Grant-new name, new city, new job, surrounded by people she doesn't know. She's torn from a man, a fisherman, and their growing love. The killer hears she died in a crash but he doesn't buy the story. He must find her. Silence her before she gets a chance to testify. U.S. Marshal Zachary Vickers is charged with Morgan's protection relocating her from Florida to Maine, far away from the killer who seeks to eliminate her. The Feds are not taking any chances with their critical witness, a woman who could bring down the kingpin of a Mexican cartel. Zach struggles with his own growing feelings for his witness. Meanwhile, Dr. Bartholomew is drawn to Morgan Grant, but she erects walls between them. He tries to break down the barriers, tries to learn the secret behind the pain in her eyes. He believes only then could his love for her have a chance. Maria now lives a lie. Can she succeed at playing this new role of Morgan Grant. Will she fool everyone into believing her fake past-places, family, friends that never existed-while she waits for the Feds to track down the killer?
