Emery "Cotton" Bishop has things she wants to forget. Secrets that need to stay buried.

After a trouble-filled stint in the military, Cotton is returning to her small Virginia hometown to heal and move on.

Nothing’s ever that easy, though.

It was a favor for a friend that brought Brodie Gallagher to Jessup Falls, Virginia. It's a murder-for-hire contract that keeps him there.

A hitman for the Irish mafia, Brodie wasn’t expecting instant sparks upon meeting Cotton. He really wasn’t anticipating the order from his boss telling him to kill her. Why would anyone want to kill this woman with shadows in her eyes?

When a second assassin is dispatched to do the job Brodie is struggling with, he does the only thing he can think of…

…he kidnaps her to make Cotton disappear.
