About

The only hope they've got is each other, and they're going to have to put their past behind them if they're going to stay alive long enough to uncover all that's hidden.
The past has a way of catching up with us.
Savannah Webster is trying to find her way forward. She and her husband, Hez, have been separated since their two-year-old daughter drowned and he began numbing his grief and guilt with alcohol. She returned to Tupelo Grove University, which her family helped found nearly a century ago, to teach history.
But within twenty-four hours three different grenades fall into her life: (1) her estranged husband--a former DA--appears in her office asking for her help starting a clinic devoted to freeing wrongly convicted defendants, (2) she discovers paperwork proving that someone is selling off the university's pre-Columbian artifacts, and (3) she finds the body of the university president and falls under suspicion herself for his murder.
With the odds stacked against her, there's no one Savannah trusts to defend her but Hez. The president's murder and the missing artifacts are only scratches on the surface. The only hope they've got is each other, and they're going to have to put their past behind them if they're going to stay alive long enough to uncover all that's hidden.
