When a pregnant friend and fellow case manager goes missing, Allison Lackey turns to her family's PI agency for help. Just her luck, her brother assigns his old pal, Nick Vitelli to her case. Wouldn't you know he's the same fellow she had a crush on as a teenager. Being around him is pure torture when her old feelings resurge. Besides in Allison's opinion, his investigation is headed in the wrong direction.

Former Atlanta PD detective Nick Vitelli is newly divorced and halfway resents being palmed off on a “family” case. He doesn’t believe in the case’s urgency or that Allison knows what she’s talking about. He figures she may know something about nursing, but trying to tell him how to run investigation is too much for this PI.

When the missing woman's car is found and the evidence points to homicide, Nick and Allison put aside their differences and work together. Allison's all grown up, and working closely with her becomes more and more difficult. Getting mixed up with his new boss’ sister is a short trip to the unemployment line. He can't risk losing his job because he has a son and child support to pay.
