When Eden was ten years old she found her father, David, bleeding out on the bathroom floor. The suicide attempt led to her parent's divorce, and David all but vanished from Eden's life.

Now in her thirties, Eden decides to go look for her father, so she can forgive him at last, and finally move forward. When her search uncovers other painful truths- not only the secrets her mother has kept from her, but also the agonizing question of whether David, after all these years, even wants to be found- Eden is forced to decide just how far she'll go in the name of love.--From back cover.

Ryan has infiltrated the Barton gang, hoping to find some information on a dying man's missing illegitimate daughter. Little does Ryan know he'll find her within the group.
