Can a dead body in a chocolate shop revive a battle-fatigued cop? Or will it take the owner of the shop to save him?
Homicide detective Scott Whelan lived for the job--until one day he was caught in the middle of a robbery gone bad. Although some call him a hero, he thinks of himself as a coward and a failure. He exists now in what he calls his "Dark Place". He accepts a new job as a civilian with the Pine Hills Police Department, thinking being close to the job will be better than leaving it completely. But when he finds himself in the middle of the investigation. Scott has to choose where his loyalties lie-with his brotherhood in blue, or his attractive new neighbor, who needs someone on her side. And figure out how to get out of the dark.
