Minutes before two jumbo jets change U.S. history forever, New York City cop Austin Finley and his buddies are in a coffee shop blocks from the World Trade Center. Two days pass before he has time to listen to his twin brother's final cell phone message, recorded moments before the Towers imploded. Four years later, plagued by nightmarish guilt, Austin's superiors have no choice but to demand that he seek counseling. Enter Mercy Samara, a half-British/half-Saudi psychologist with plenty of her own dark, painful memories. When one of her patients commits suicide, she blames herself, resigns, and eventually becomes a high school guidance counselor. Nearly six years pass when Austin's unit responds to an emergency at Mercy's school. Their first meeting rouses painful memories, yet they find themselves attracted to each other. Though love blossoms, can they get past harsh judgments and harsh words brought about by the horrific events of 9/11? Will his faith - and her suspicion of it - finally bring them closer, or drive them farther apart?
