It starts with a phone call ten days before New Year's, a familiar voice whispering the number ten and then hanging up. Madison Love doesn't think much of it, at first...but when he calls back the next night and then again the night after that it becomes clear that her mysterious caller is counting down to something. Concerned, Madison turns to the only man she knows who can help her, Ethan Parker, the private detective across the street from where she works. Strong, capable, protective and oh-so-very handsome, Ethan seems like the perfect solution to all of her problems, big and small. But as the countdown nears zero and someone close to her is murdered, Madison soon realizes it may not just be her heart at risk but her life as well.
