A mother is dead, and now her killer hunts the child who witnessed the brutal crime. Clay Maynard has almost given up hope of finding his daughter, cruelly stolen from him by his ex-wife twenty-three years ago. Horse-riding therapist Taylor Dawson has chosen to intern at Daphne Montgomery-Carter's stables so that she can observe the program's security director—her father, Clay. Trying to reconcile this wonderful man with the monster her mother always described, Taylor never expects to become the target of a real monster, the man who murdered the mother of the little girls she works with. Neither does she expect to fall for Daphne's handsome son, Ford. Soon, Taylor starts to imagine a permanent life in Baltimore. But not if the real monster gets to her first.
