Theodore Giovanni, star defenseman for the NHL Seattle Sabretooths and reluctant heir to the Giovanni Organized Crime Family, is no stranger to unwanted attention from the public eye. Climbing to the top of the league, he has managed to hide his dark family secrets, keeping them out of the spotlight, and buried in the past where they belong.

But what happens when that bloody past comes back to haunt him?

Determined to never again be led astray by love, or under the mercy of another's control, Danica Ellis is no longer the helpless girl Theo once fell for. Forced to face her own ghost lurking in the shadows, she has spent the last seven years reclaiming her strength and learning to fight her own battles.

But as blackmail threats continue to escalate, and a dangerous stalker emerges from the shadows seeking vengeance to be paid in blood, Danica and Theo find themselves thrown together once more, forced to navigate the treacherous landscape laid out before them. As past demons lie in wait, threatening to reopen old wounds and divulge sinister truths, can they work together to put an end to this living nightmare? Or will the evils that haunt them finally drag Danica and Theo down into the darkness?
