When your past catches up with you...run.

Presumed dead after the Twin Towers attacks in 2001, stockbroker/con artist Mel Green, in reality, escaped the disaster. She departed Manhattan with stolen millions from unsuspecting investors. Living incognito, Mel assumed a new identity as math teacher Mandy Gates in Hailey, Idaho.

At the edge of the northern Rockies, in a warm, and welcoming community, Mel enjoys a sense of normalcy and jettisons the past falling for her coworker, substitute teacher and part-time rancher, Riley Brown. Despite her happy new life, there’s one thing she can’t forget—her sweet stepdaughter, Isla—the little girl she left behind.

Learning of Isla’s college graduation day, Mel abandons logic and secretly attends the ceremony—a fateful mistake. Her former husband/business partner discovers her and coolly explains they’re both on an assassin’s hit list. Recent FBI investigations reveal the two were involved with a corrupt cartel—their former clients. The file Mel fled with years ago holds the key to their guilt.

Standing between Mel and certain death are an abusive ex, a bewildered boyfriend, a madam with moxie, a frustrated FBI agent, and her innocent stepdaughter.
