Paola Dante is a driven project manager. Long ago she made a decision that matters of the heart were inherently messy and should be kept at arm's distance. But her husband had surprised her; she had no resistance against Daniel. Now she sees herself as a survivor who has successfully moved on from the traumatic events and terrible truth surrounding her husband's sudden disappearance years before. An unlikely and ill-equipped mother, she stands alone between their adopted daughter Simone and a criminal kingpin. To save her daughter and herself once and for all, Paola will face her every fear, her every mistake, and the past she thought she'd finally processed and left behind.
