Retired and embittered military officer, Levi Jacobson is content running his small-town security business without anyone's help. After all, he can't trust anyone - especially women. But when the town suffers a slew of robberies and Levi can't figure out who's behind it before it gets worse, he hires help from out of town. A decision he might regret.

The last thing Sage Reynolds wants is to move to a tiny town to solve a series of burglaries. But with her bills piling up, she takes what she can get.
