Hazel lands herself in the middle of a stakeout to catch a serial killer and becomes his next target!
A serial killer is loose in Orlando, Florida, and Hazel Crenshaw can identify him. Guardian to a five-year-old, her life is turned upside down when the killer finds out who she is and where to find her. Hazel, a headstrong, independent woman, is now forced into protective custody with the handsome, but overbearing, investigating officer.
Detective Lee Wade is after a killer, and he's willing to use any means to catch him. However, when an innocent young mother who can identify the Trail Strangler falls into his lap, he's torn between using her to lure the killer and fighting his attraction to her. At all costs, though, he must protect her and the child from becoming the Strangler's next victims.
