Two days later a strange man turns up at her apartment . . . Mike Newland is an undercover detective. His assignment is to use Sara to track down a woman who is one of the most notorious criminals in the country, and who also happens to be the mother of the man Sara plans to marry. Mike thinks the job will be easy - if he can figure out how to make Sara trust him. But Mike has no idea what this mission has in store for him. He has connections to Edilean dating back to his grandmother's time there in 1941, but he's worked hard to keep them private. As Mike and Sara get to know each other, he can't help but share secrets that he's told no one else. And in return, Sara opens up to Mike about things she could never reveal to Greg.

But when he hears that six figures’ worth of rare stamps have wandered off, McGee finds himself back in the salvage business.

Only it’s not McGee’s heart that’s in danger. He soon realizes that he’s run afoul of a vicious syndicate, and neither rain, nor sleet, nor gloom of night will keep them from collecting McGee’s head.
