The love story first introduced in The Last Weekend of September continues in this tale of survival and the strength of faith.
Lenore Appleby and Gregor Parishnikov vow to never separate again. As close to normal as the CIA allows, Lenore and Gregor have settled into their home near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The presence of Gregor's younger brother, Alex, perfects their lives, and their first holiday together brings friends and family into their home.
Less than a mile away from their festive home, a CIA agent stands on a hill. His powerful binoculars provide a view of the comradery, but his eyes are only searching for one person: Lenore. John Dixon's love for Lenore has changed to a respectful friendship for his best friend's wife. When suspicions arise concerning her safety, he seeks the help and guidance of a Colorado Ranger, Willow Davidson.
The untimely absence of Dixon's most trusted agent, Frank Gillespie, is a frustration. His reappearance is a comfort, but soon raises questions of its own.
Will a deranged agent change lives or destroy them? Love and faith will be tested, and more than one life-changing gunshot will inflict pain and heartache on the close-knit clan of friends and family.
