Alexia graduated from high school & fled her home. She found solace working as a fire fighter a long way from her hometown & establishing a new life. However, she does stay in touch with a good friend who informs her that her mother is very ill.

After some coaxing, Alexia decides to go home & check on her mother - the mother that she absolutely detests. Once arriving at her house, she starts having flashbacks of things that happened in her past - an abusive father, a bad house fire, her sister's death, her dad's disappearance, & her mother's abandonment.

These problems are compounded when her old boyfriend (who also was abusive) is killed. From then on, her life becomes a roller coaster with constant attempts made on her life. She has no idea who might want her dead - except someone no one would believe. Will she survive the bitter attempts on her life?

In comes Hunter - a detective whose partner (Katie) believes Alexia is responsible for some of the things happening. He falls hard for Alexia; is he seeing Alexia as innocent just because he likes her? Could she be guilty of murder & arson?

This is a great book that captures the attention. I love seeing how her family came together. It shows how God amazingly can bring good from things that were meant for bad.

NOTE: I would recommend reading this book before Deadly Reunions #2 (When a Heart Stops). Unfortunately, I read them out of order. Although it was ok, it would make more sense if I would have read them in order; the plots kind of go together in a specific order. They do refer to things that happen in book 1 when reading Deadly Reunions Bk. #2.
