When a debt is owed, someone always has to pay. Private investigator Alexis Parker is about to find this out the hard way when a face from her past returns to collect... Alex hasn't seen her adoptive father since she left for college, so when he shows up at her office, she wants nothing to do with him. As far as she was concerned, they were done. But now he expects her to pay back every cent he ever gave her.

She'll do just about anything to make him go away, including giving him the money. But he wants it for a reason. And that reason will threaten everything Alex holds dear, from her principles to her life.
