While Teri Carmichael is being hailed as one of New York's most-promising new artists, her marriage to a compulsive gambler is wrecking her life. When her low-life of a husband refuses to give her a divorce, she thinks her life can't get any worse. Then the police find his brutally murdered corpse in an empty apartment. Further complicating Teri's life is her new photographer, Drew Marshall. He's starting over from a disastrous downward spiral of his own, and nothing gives him as much hope as meeting Teri, despite the circumstances. Together, their powerful chemistry could drive them to the happy ending they've always wanted, if it wasn't for the web of evil being spun around them. A hardened NYC detective is convinced Teri killed her husband, and Selena, a young woman who loves Teri like a mother, is willing to kill to protect Teri from harm…in fact, she already has.
