When danger forces close quarters, can love survive? Sergeant Detective Derek Savvas is attracted to the woman he met in the hospital. He wants to pursue these feelings, but this professor is harder to crack than some cases he's worked. Shai Monroe teaches math at the college, however she's been getting threats. Because of them, back into her life comes a man she's been unable to forget. She ignores the danger until it explodes around her. Unwilling to let her continue risking her life, Derek issues an ultimatum—either he moves her to a safe house, or she allows him to move in with her. When it all settles, will they still be standing or will one of them have said goodbye?
