Sophie Shields

Sophie was abandoned at birth and grew up neglected and abused. Her only friends were computers, until she met Cole Hunter. He became her everything: brother, protector, and partner in crime. She believed that nothing could ever tear them apart. Until it did. Years later, when news of Cole's murder reaches Sophie, she completely snaps. She will tear down heaven and earth to find his killer, even enlisting the help of her ex-military ex-boyfriend.

After a recent brush with death, Cole realizes what really matters to him. He is furious with the woman he loves for abandoning him, and he is willing to give up everything just to give her a taste of her own medicine. A journey into the Nevada desert holds many discoveries for Sophie, including an opportunity to meet her biological family for the first time. But an innocent woman has been killed by the same monster who shot her brother, and she feels compelled to help bring her justice.
