Kai Buckley was everything to his wife. His death plunged Elisabeth into a downward spiral of grief and despair. She's numb, a spectator on the periphery of life who feels nothing until her best friend's murder changes everything.
Tom Yancey was a constant presence from their college years through the dark days following Kai's death. Elisabeth ignored his pleas for help until it was too late. With business partner and cosmetics queen Candace Ott, she vows to avenge Tommy and find his murderer.
Tommy was the majority partner in CYBER-MED, a Boston biotech firm that monitors implanted medical devices. He willed his estate to Elisabeth and Candy along with an ominous warning about skullduggery at the firm. Suddenly, several very insistent buyers vie for control of CYBER-MED.
Elisabeth is accosted by Dr. Lucian Sand, a hot French scientist with a bad attitude and an obsession for CYBER-MED. He's mysterious, an alpha hunk who both annoys and intrigues her. Something about Lucian sparks feelings Elisabeth buried long ago when her husband died. His tenderness and strength disarm her but she resists temptation. After all, while Tommy's murderer roams free, everyone --- including the enigmatic Dr. Sand --- is a suspect. Elisabeth assumes Tommy's position as CFO of CYBER-MED and begins her quest for truth.
