For fifteen years, Caroline Pierce has been devoted to one man, Adam. Their relationship-built on faith, romance, and unconditional love-is the foundation of her life. One night, when Adam unexpectedly beats Caroline for asking questions about his strange behavior, it all comes crashing down.

Already feeling confused and betrayed, Caroline is surprised yet again when a mysterious stranger calls to say he's sent Adam away and wishes to meet with her at a nearby restaurant. There she meets Big John, the leader of an organized crime group and Adam's former boss. Caroline is shocked to learn Adam was one of Big John's best movers-someone who assessed and assigned the organization's personnel to different operations, including prostitution rings-before abusing his power and getting into financial trouble himself. The man she thought she knew inside and out now seems like a total stranger.

Although Big John offers his protection, Caroline is determined to figure out why Adam has lied all these years. What she finds out will not only expose the real Adam-it will force Caroline to confront her painful past and an uncertain future.
