Doctor Shelly Newman lives a quiet life in Cooper Valley as the only physical therapist in town. Her safe little world takes a turn, though, when she realizes the sweet notes being left for her are from a stalker. The bright spots in her week, and also her most frustrating, are when she works with retired Master Sergeant Pete Dexler. He's rude, he's stubborn, but he has a softer, vulnerable side that attracts her. And he's the only one she can turn to when her world crumbles around her and the stalker starts moving in for the kill.
