Wanting Liv becomes a slide into a past he can no longer ignore, and Connor must fight the darkness stalking him to find a way to win over the only woman he's ever loved.

As the push and pull of their shared history twists them both in unexpected ways, a shocking implication ties Liv to a crime Connor's investigating. Soon, the future with Liv he'd always dreamed of isn't the only thing he's trying to save. Now, he's got to save her too.
