The brilliant new thriller-twisted, sexy, and unrelentingly gripping.

Without thinking, Jonah rushes in to protect her-inadvertently killing her attacker in the process. Thrust into the media spotlight, crushed by guilt, Jonah quickly learns that heroism isn't all it's cracked up to be. He receives a shower of unwanted attention and hostility from his superiors. The district attorney wants to "interview" him. The family of the dead man wants revenge. And everything is further upended when the woman whose life he saved shows up at his apartment.
