When Annie Pederson was nine, her sister was kidnapped while they were playing, and she never forgave herself for failing to stop it. Her marriage was happy-- until her husband and her parents were killed in a boating accident, leaving her alone with her young daughter Kyle. A law enforcement officer, Annie is also managing the Tremolo Inn and Marina, which she inherited. When Annie's first love, Jon Donovan, returns after nine years away, it reignites the town's memory of a cold case he'd been linked to. Now Annie is being targeted by someone desperate to keep secrets from the past hidden. Discovering the truth will either set Annie free... or kill her. -- adapted from back cover
