When Maddy Lambert arrives in Puente del Norte, she's looking for her dying father. She knows his bodyguard, Jake Murphy, is there too, but he always thought of her as a kid, and that's not likely to change.

Puente del Norte is about to implode from the warring revolutionary forces, her father refuses to see her, and Jake says he doesn't remember her, but she remembers him all too clearly, and even years later, she's still in love with him.

Maddy is trapped in a deadly situation, and she can't decide whom to trust—her father, who always cared more about mankind than his own daughter, or Jake, who remembers more than he's admitting to, cares more. With life and death in the balance, should she run away? Or run to the man she loves?
