Murder-Family Secrets- Second Chances

At the innocent age of six, Sage's life changed forever. Her sister suddenly vanishes, her mother disappears, and her father abandons her on a street corner in Harlem.
Rookie Liam McGregor, working his first beat, finds six-year-old Sage shivering and alone. Instead of turning her over to CPS, he takes her home, confident someone would step forward to claim her. No one did. Months turned into years, and the mystery surrounding her parents and her sister Sophie's disappearance slowly faded.
Later, Sage moves to Manhattan to pursue her dreams and start a new life. She meets and marries the love of her life, Ayden De Carlo. But it seems the past has a way of returning to haunt us. Detective Liam McGregor must break the unfortunate news that someone murdered Ayden execution-style in the parking garage of his father's law firm.
Months later, Sage leaves New York and buys a stone cottage in a small town in Vermont. Slowly, she rebuilds her life and career, but something is brewing beneath the peaceful backdrop of the sleepy little town. A mysterious stranger emerges, and behind him, a twisted trail of events unravels, baffling lead detective Liam McGregor. Who is this quiet stranger, and what does he want?
