After her husband's death, single mother Meredith just wants to raise her son in peace--until handsome young co-worker Christian catches her eye. Dazzled by Christian's hypnotic seduction, Meredith goes home with him against her better judgment, to his apartment in the dark underbelly of Detroit. Big mistake. For Christian's easy smile hides deadly secrets, and he wants more than a one-night stand. He wants to keep Meredith forever.
