Can she love him if she can’t remember him?

Molly Anderson returns “home” to a town she doesn’t remember, hoping it will spark a memory. She runs into Trent Williams, an off duty police Detective, and something else definitely sparks. He wants to know why she left town, with her parents, but without a word to anyone. She doesn’t remember that life. She can only tell him she knew her parents briefly before they died . . . or were murdered, she’s not sure. She hopes regaining her memory will help answer that question.

Trent has his own secrets, but they have a mystery to solve.

After four happy years together, he comes home to find his daughter taking a nap…but he can’t find his wife Molly. She would never leave her husband, daughter, business, and community, yet the whispers say she did before.


Trent launches the most important investigation of his life, searching his old cases, his home, and the town. He finds a few leads but they make him doubt himself and their love. The hours add up as he wonders if Molly is in danger. Did her amnesia come back or did someone take her?

Trent always feared one of his old cases would come back to haunt him and hurt his family. It hasn’t happened… until now.

The kidnapper leaves riddles addressed to Trent. Ten children and then you’ll lose yours… But first your sister will say goodbye to her babies.

It must be an old case, but Trent made that assumption last time, when someone kidnapped his wife Molly. Is this really revenge or a spree of senseless, heartbreaking crimes?
