The Angry One had wanted her from the very first time he had laid eyes on her; with her fiery-red hair and laser-green eyes. And she had wanted him as well. But as is typical of women, she tried to play coy with him and had told him no with her pouty lips. He smiled to himself, but he knew the game. He knew what she was really saying; she wanted to be pursued. She wanted him to earn his prize. So he had boldly taken up the challenge and like a quarterback jockeying for position, he had weaved first this way, then that. But it seemed no matter what he had done, she had somehow escaped his grasp.

In the midst of trying to find a killer, new and past love present themselves and Tess is forced to decide a course for her life.
