Elisabeth Lynette is tired of running. She doesn't know who she's running from, or why, but she knows he's dangerous, and stealthy. It's not uncommon for her godfather (and guardian) to whisk her away without a word from one location to the next, desperately trying to stay days, if not hours ahead of him. It is in a large townhouse outside of Boston that Elisabeth meets Carter. He's strong, and she's weak, and he is extraordinarily protective of Elisabeth when she can't protect herself. But will Carter be able to protect her from him, this mystery man, from Elisabeth's past who she can't seem to escape? And what happens if Elisabeth decides to stop running...
