Ricky Savage is Sharon McCone's brother-in-law, and the hottest country singer in the business. He's on top professionally, but his longtime marriage to Sharon's sister Charlene is breaking up. Even worse, Ricky has been getting anonymous letters threatening not only himself, but also his children.

It's a tough case for McCone. Unless Ricky lets her into his past and the secrets there, she doesn't have a chance at uncovering the roots of the sick obsession behind the threats.

She soon discovers the stalker is very close at hand, upping the ante of terror with clear warnings that he or she can strike at anytime-and plans to. Ricky isn't helping either and he turns to another lover, who will complicate his emotional state and McCone's investication. Now dirty tricks are putting Ricky's career, as well as his life in jeopardy...and his next Grammy-winning song about shattered hearts and broken promises may be his last.
