Scarf designer Annie MacKerricher once worked with color the way most people breathe-effortlessly. Then tragedy shatters her world, and now all she sees is darkness.

Annie's life changes in the time it takes for a bullet to tear through flesh. Her husband is gone, murdered by a heartless gangbanger for an expensive watch.

Now a year has passed, and Annie's ability to work with colors eludes her. Determined to remake her life, Annie moves north with her black lab, Bear, abandoning her high-pressure life in a Los Angeles suburb for the tiny fishing village of Trinidad, California.

Surrounded by majestic redwoods, Trinidad offers Annie new friendships, a new perspective, and, just maybe, a new chance for love. She's drawn to handsome fisherman and artist Forrest Hammond, and he seems to reciprocate her feelings, to the fury of his spoiled, rich ex-girlfriend. But Hammond is hiding something from Annie: a secret that could destroy their simmering romance.

Just as Annie is starting to feel comfortable in her adopted home, her past seems to return to haunt her. Her husband's killer threatened revenge after Annie testified against him, and his deadly reach appears to stretch all the way to Trinidad.
