Curator Louise Hancock left Maine and its troubled past for Philadelphia and the famous museum. It would seem that Louise's new life is protected from darkness, but then the body of an intern from the museum is found - the victim of a brutal murder. Louise understands that this is not a random murder. And when another intern goes missing, a kidnapping leads to the only person who could get into Louise's heart - Conor Sullivan, a handsome bar owner. Louise's past has taught her to be careful, but her heart refuses to believe Conor is guilty. Now Conor and Louise must deal with police attention and a growing passion to find the real killer before another girl dies. But it may be dangerous to trust Conor as the evidence against him mounts... and a heartless killer intends to make Louise his next victim.
