Lisa Hayes barely survived the car accident she believed her fiancé, Bryan Branson, orchestrated. From Seattle to Savannah, she fled for her life landing on the doorstep of a childhood friend she hadn't spoken to in years.

Even though it has been over a year since she barely escaped Seattle, Lisa knows that Bryan will never stop looking for her. Living with the constant fear, and the lies she must tell to protect herself, Lisa isn't sure if her sanity will remain intact. Dreaming of a Confederate Soldier is one thing, but when he begins to haunt Lisa's waking hours, claiming she is the reincarnation of his beloved wife, Lisa believes she's finally started to crack. The fact her spectral stalker looks a lot like her fake, half-brother's best friend is beside the point. Just because she's having a few hopeful thoughts about Cade, doesn't mean a thing, either. Getting romantically involved with anyone, particularly a cop, is not a wise idea.

When Cade Dalton, a Savannah police detective, runs into Sam and his family during an outing to Fort Pulaski Memorial Museum, he is introduced to his best friend's, previously unknown, half-sister. His immediate attraction to Lisa Lewis isn't exactly what he'd expected. But, as a cop, Cade recognizes the signs of a victim of abuse; another reason he wants to be her knight in shining armor.

When she learns of her ex's claim that she'd stolen six million dollars, Lisa is ready to run again. Branson's lie has increased the chances of his henchmen finding Lisa. If he does, neither Cade nor her ghostly protector will be able to save her this time.
