Bree had a rough life initially and then as she grew up she started helping other people for the sake of mental peace. The more she kept on helping others, the more she got the peace that she was looking for so instead of thinking about herself she started thinking about others. Along with her partner detective Dana, she solved one case and then the other in quick succession. As the hunger for more cases grew, Bree finally received a tough case.
A man was shot directly in the head and there was no sign of struggle which means that he wasn’t given the time to react. The site was really tragic and Bree thought that she should discuss the matter with the ex-wife of the man. Bree only wanted to convey the sad news and gain some sort of information if it was there with the lady. On reaching the house when Bree delivered the sad news, she received a shocker of her own.

On the way, Bree also starts remembering her own past which was a bit similar in intensity. Author Melinda Leigh brings the past of her primary character to the scene as the case becomes severe.
