Landscaper, Grant Cummings has returned to his hometown to seek justice and it suits him to keep a close eye on Cathy. As the investigation progresses, attraction flares between them.
But when a series of suspicious events threaten Cathy’s life, should she share her suspicions with Grant? Or is his mysterious past a warning that trusting him could prove deadly?
