Sam and Haley Quaid buried their ten-year-old son and then ended their marriage, all in one week. It wasnt a volatile divorce, but three years later, except for trading Christmas cards, Sam and Haley have completely lost touchuntil a dramatic weather report sets their paths on a collision course once more. Tropical Storm Gladys is heading straight toward coastal Texas, and locals are anxious as they prepare for potential devastation. Haley, a Realtor, has an appointment to show a property and is determined to keep it, but a hurricane isnt the only looming danger: news reports talk of two prisoners whove escaped from a nearby penitentiary only a few miles from the house Haleys headed for. When Sams phone rings with his ex-wifes number, he immediately remembers the card he gave her when they parted on the courthouse steps. If you ever need me, call and Ill be there. She hasnt called in three years, and Sam is sure this can mean only one thing: Haley is in danger, and its up to him to save her. With her trademark emotional intensity and breakneck pacing, Sharon Sala returns with a harrowing story of danger, loyalty and the lengths well go to protect the people we love most.
