Murder? One call is all it takes to shatter Elise Dalton's heart. Her father's been murdered and the accused is none other than the man she had given her heart to. Though he'd cut himself out of her life years earlier, being the daughter to the chief of police, she has heard enough gossip to let her know that the choices he's made have lead him down a path of self-destruction. He isn't the same man she'd fallen in love with but a part of her doesn't want to believe he could kill her father in cold blood.

Gun carrying, motorcycle riding, bad boy Flash Arquette has done some terrible shit in his life. He's even taken the fall for someone, and every time he's done the time for his crimes. This time, though, he's innocent and no one's listening to him. He doesn't care what anyone thinks of him except Elise. She had to know the truth. He's hurt her enough in the past, but he would never have done this to her. The only problem is the convincing evidence against him and his inability to give them proof of his innocence without breaking the contract he signed.

Their lives have taken opposing paths, but as the steel bars close around Flash, Elise realizes she's lost him for good. The small ray of hope that he could change dies and the grief doubles. When those around Flash come forth with information that he's been set up, she's not sure she believes them, but she has to find out the truth. Nothing will bring her father back but she might be able to save Flash from death row.
