• Setting: Set in the fictional town of Fortune's Run in Northern California's Gold Country.

Three years ago, Valerie's husband was killed in the line of duty. Now she and her eleven-year-old son have a new home in California's Gold Country.

When he's accidentally shot with his father's gun, the race to the hospital puts them in the path of Dylan Graves, a Highway Patrolman with skeletons of his own that he doesn't want to face.

A widow and her son are exactly the people Dylan doesn't need in his life, or so he thinks. Sometimes, Fate has something else in mind. He's just hoping he doesn't end up Fortune's Fool.
