LMPD Detective Ramsey Gaines is tired of the quiet that awaits him at home. When he takes on the murder case of Marion Teal, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the victim's sister, Cece. Their connection is instant, intense, and strictly against protocol. As Ram fights to solve the double homicide of Marion and a local forger, he finds solace in Cece's arms. But as the pressure from the department mounts and the leads grow darker, Ram realizes saving himself from loneliness might mean sacrificing his career--and perhaps his own judgment.
