Suddenly, the woman with no permanent ties finds herself almost wishing for one... Â Artist Ashton Archer knows his brother isnât capable of violenceâagainst himself or others. He recruits Lila, the only eyewitness, to help him uncover what happened. Chalking up their intense attraction to the heat of the moment, Lila agrees to help Ash try to find out who murdered his brother and why.
